Book summaryA collection of over 10 years of Edna O'Brien's short stories, including the entire volume of RETURNING, her 1981 collection that was published only in Great Britain, and four additional stories which appeared in The New Yorker between 1979 and 1981. Media reviews"These stories reveal a particular sympathy for internal exiles, the casualties of convention, but at their best the stories themselves are impersonal. the central character is usually a young girl, but it is her best friend or sister that takes the risks and pays the penalties. Although the girl looks on intently, in some way she is not involved." |
