Summary
When the austere and moving title story of this collection appeared in "The New Yorker" in 1993, it inspired two memorable film adaptations, and John Updike selected it for inclusion in "The Best American Short Stories of the Century." In these ten stories, Alice Elliott Dark visits the fictional town of Wynnemoor and its residents, present and past, with skill, compassion, and wit. By turns funny, sad, and disturbing, these are stories of remarkable power.

Jennie Yabroff San Francisco Chronicle [Dark] can do a certain kind of writing about a certain kind of love, and break her reader’s heart without seeming to try.
