Selected Stories: Text Classics (Paperback)

Paperback. Introduced by Melanie Joosten, Selected Stories is an unmissable new collection of twenty highlights from Amy Witting's dazzling body of acclaimed short fiction, spanning her fifty-year career.Amy Witting was a master of the short story, the genre in which she felt 'most at home'. Her subjects -childhood and school, marriage and loneliness, the cruelty of men and women - are rendered in a crisp, understated style, at once compassionate and unsentimental. This new selection of twenty pieces from across five decades includes the acclaimed novella-length 'The Survivors' and the final appearance of Isobel Callaghan from I for Isobel.
