Shirley Hazzard's stories are sharp, sensitive portrayals of moments of crisis. Whether they are set in the Italian countryside or suburban Connecticut, the stories deal with real people and real problems. In the title piece, a young widow is surprised and ashamed by her lack of grief for her husband. In 'A Place in the Country,' a woman has a passionate, guilty affair with her cousin's husband. In 'Harold,' a gawky, lonely young man finds acceptance and respect through his poetry. Moving and evocative, these ten stories are written with subtlety, humour and a keen understanding of the relationships between men and women. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Mismatched couples, relationships gone sour, partners talking dismissively to each other. Hazzard shows by constantly alternating their perspectives how her characters think they know how others regard them, yet they are completely wrong.
Combined with Shirley Hazzard’s beautiful writing style which is somewhat brighter and feels a bit less weighted down with symbolism than her later novels, every single story in this collection was a joy to read.
