Synopsis

A collection of stories.

Review

Howard has a gift for tilting our sense of reality . . . wry humour and elegant perceptions. (Guardian)

As polished, stylish and civilised as her many devotees would expect. (Julian Barnes)

Each of these stories may be read again with real pleasure. (Daily Telegraph)
