Widely known for her much-admired novels, includingThe Heat of the Day,The House in Paris, andThe Death of the Heart, Elizabeth Bowen established herself in the front rank of the century's writers equally through her short fiction. This collection brings together seventy-nine magnificent stories written over the course of four decades. Vividly featuring scenes of bomb-scarred London during the Blitz, frustrated lovers, acutely obcerved children, and even vengeful ghosts, these stories reinforce Bowen's reputation as an artist whose finely chiseled narrativesrich in imagination, psychological insight, and crafttranscend their time and place.
