The ghost of a doomed romance haunts an Oxford undergraduate's idyllic summer affair; a tragedy of hopeless love and murderous frustration is played out against the backdrop of a provincial repertory company; passion and hatred flower side by side in suburban gardens. Angela Huth peoples her stories with elderly ladies living out extraordinary fantasy lives and betrayed wives wreaking subtle revenge. Drawing out their secret disappointments and their dreams of glamour, she brings to this exquisite collection the wry delicacy, subversive wit, and keen eye for the drama of the quietest lives that distinguish her widely hailed novels.
Angela Huth has written three short story collections and several novels. She also writes plays for radio, television and stage, and is a well known freelance journalist, critic and broadcaster. She is married to a don, lives in Oxford and has two daughters.
