These charged locales, and the lives of the endlessly varied characters within them, are evoked with a tenderness and incisiveness found in only our most observant seers. "Spanning four decades, these twenty-one vintage selected stories and thirteen scintillating new ones take us around the world, from Jerusalem to Central America, from Tsarist Russia to London during the Blitz, from central Europe to Manhattan, and from the Maine Coast to Godolphin, Massachusetts, a fictional suburb of Boston. The collection, which was personally selected and edited by the author, is preceded by a "rave review" of an Introductory Essay by fellow writer and lifelong admirer, the American novelist Ann Patchett. Her finest and most representative short stories, including new pieces that appear in book form for the very first time: Chekhovian domesticity punctuated by sudden, violent, life-changing irruptions.
