Synopsis
"These stories can be read with delight and wonder ... a first-class achievement by one of our very best writers." - The New York Times. The seventeen stories in this, the finest collection of Doris Lessing's short fiction, all share the same assured mastery of style, the same unfailingly satisfying form, and the same human insight ad compassion. They may be set in Africa, England, Germany, or France; their themes may range from sexual dilemma of a too-attractive woman to the perilous initiationinto manhood of a young boy; thier tone may be dryly ironic, cuttingly satiric, brilliantly realistic, or powerfully tragic. But whatever the mood or place, long after the stories have ended, the people linger in one's mind: ..." - From back cover - New Statesman. Nobel Laureat author, 2007.
