Synopsis:

Lauren Groff has selected twenty-five of Nancy Hale''s best stories in the first career-spanning edition of her work. The stories seem ahead of their time in their depiction of women - sometimes fragile, possibly wicked, often remarkable in their apparent ordinariness; from an adolescent girl driven into delirium over her burgeoning sexuality in Midsummer, to a twenty-something New Yorker experiencing culture shock on a visit to a friend s house in Virginia in That Woman. Haunting, vivid, and subversive in the best sense, Where the Light Falls is nothing less than a major literary rediscovery.

About the Author: NANCY HALE (1908-1988), born in Boston to a family whose forebearers include Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale and Harriet Beecher Stowe, was the author of eight novels, including the best-selling The Prodigal Women, four short story collections, two memoirs, two plays, children's stories, and a biography of Mary Cassatt. With the writer Elizabeth Coles Langhorne, she was a cofounder of the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.

LAUREN GROFF is the New York Times-best-selling author of three novels, The Monsters of Templeton, Arcadia, and Fates and Furies, and two short story collections, Delicate Edible Birds and Florida.
