Reseña: In this sumptuous offering one of our premier storytellers provides a feast for fiction aficionados. Spanning four decades and three prize-winning collections 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. 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. No matter the situation in which her characters find themselves -- an unforeseen love affair between adolescent cousins a lifetime of memories unearthed by an elderly couples decision to shoplift the deathbed secret of a young girls forbidden forest tryst with the tsar the danger that befalls a wealthy couples child in a European inn of misfits -- Edith Pearlman conveys their experience with wit and aplomb with relentless but clear-eyed optimism and with a supple prose that reminds us sentence by sentence page by page of the gifts our greatest verbal innovators can bestow.
