Publisher Description
It should come as no surprise that short stories by the author of the magical Possession are populated by erudite paranoiacs, witches, changelings, and the ghost of a dead child. A S Byatt's short fictions explore the fragile ties between generations, the dizzying abyss of loss and the elaborate memories we construct against it, resulting in a book that compels us to inhabit other lives and returns us to our own with new knowledge, compassion, and a sense of wonder.
Customer Reviews
Interesting, to say the least.
I enjoyed reading these pieces; they were like one sided conversations rather than stories, where I was being told about other people’s life experiences. At times, I wasn’t quite able to follow the lines of thought and felt a little inadequate, but I have always enjoyed A.S. Byatt’s novels and admire her intellect.
