THE SELECTED STORIES OF ELIZABETH BOWEN - ELIZA...

'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 SELECTED AND WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY TESSA
HADLEY A girl shares her secret den. A couple stroll through a ruined city. A man walks into a
ladies' hat shop. A teacher dreams of killing her pupil. Spanning the 1920s to the post-war
years  this new selection brings Elizabeth Bowen's finest short stories together for the first
time. Elegant and subtle  they showcase Bowen's ability to evoke ineffable emotions - grief 
nostalgia  self-consciousness  dread - and combine remarkable psychological insight with vivid
settings  from the countryside of Bowen's native Ireland to the streets of her London home
after the Blitz. Encompassing characters from many walks of life and a vast array of moods 
these are intricate journeys of domesticity and discovery  of the homely and uncanny  of the
mind and body.
