Review:
"It is a tribute to Lee Langley's controlled style and wit that by the end you long to start the book again." Daily Telegraph "A stunning collection of short stories, each of which stands alone, yet is satisfyingly linked ... Langley is a talented chronicler of the human condition." Daily Mail "A series of delicately fashioned cameos ... tantalising and satisfying." Sunday Times

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover: Andrea Mantegna (illustrator). First. Binding dark blue cloth with gilt lettering on spine; the slightest of bumping evident to either end of spine. Dj now protected inside a cover. Lee Langley's first collection of short stories, self-contained but interlinked, creates a pattern: throughout, we encounter two women, sometimes in leading roles, sometimes as supporting characters, or, barely noted, on the sidelines of someone else's drama. False Pretences is, in its way, a novel in mosaic: fragments of love and betrayal, bitterness and regret which come together to form a whole. With humour and rueful affection, the author peels away the layers to reveal her characters facing turning points in their lives, stripped of defences and pretences. The settings are far-ranging: Italy, Wales, India, rural France, Japan, the Western Australian seaboard, London, both seedy and modish. Book. Seller Inventory # 003727
