A murderraises fears of blackmail. A woman waits anxiously in a cafe before elopingto Paris. Another steals a friend's kitchen knife.In these bittersweet tales, the author of Lolly Willowes reveals her mastery ofthe short story, celebrated by the New Yorker for decades. Sylvia TownsendWarner is a tragicomic chronicler of the heart's entanglements, from marriagesand affairs to widowhood; and a champion of outsiders, whether singlewomen, the elderly or wartime refugees.Witty and subversive, her stories meld tradition and transgression, with secretsins and fetishes as much a feature of English life as eccentric aunts, countryhouses and parish churches.
