Elegant, timeless, and riveting: an exciting anthology of short stories by mid-century women writers from Britain and Ireland--many being published in America for the first time These remarkable short stories from the 1940s and 50s depict women and men caught between the pull of personal desires and profound social change. From a remote peninsula in Cornwall to the drawing rooms of the British Raj, domestic arrangements are rewritten, social customs are revoked and new freedoms are embraced. Selected and introduced by writer and critic Lucy Scholes, Senior Editor at McNally Editions, this collection places works from renowned women writers alongside recently rediscovered voices. Contains:
  • "The Cut Finger" by Frances Bellerby
  • "Summer Night" by Elizabeth Bowen
