Hilma Wolitzer, now 90 years old, has gained a reputation as a writer who 'raises ordinary people and everyday occurrences to a new height.' (Washington Post).
These collected short stories, most of them originally published in magazines in the 1960s and 1970s, along with a new story that brings her early characters into the present, are evocative of an era that still resonates deeply today. In the title story, a bystander tries to soothe a woman who seems to have cracked under the pressures of motherhood, and in several linked stories throughout, the relationship between the narrator and her husband unfolds in often hilarious vignettes.
Zeroing in on the domestic sphere and ordinary life with wit, candour, grace, and an acutely observant eye, this collection reintroduces a beloved writer to be embraced by a whole new generation of readers.
