Praise

“Quite simply one of the best short story writers who ever lived.” —Newsweek

“Bowen’s stories show the awesome capabilities of the English language and the surprise and mystery of the human soul.” —The New Republic

“Bowen’s stories are novels that have been split open like rocks and reveal the glitter of the naked crystals which have formed them.” —Vogue

“Richly reconfirms the extraordinary contribution Elizabeth Bowen has made to English letters.” —The New York Times Book Review
