Recenzii

A writer of genius . . . a master storyteller
'A masterclass in storytelling and writing beautiful, luminous prose' Literary Review

An Indian poetess exerts an artistic and sexual dominion over her English translator; a middle-aged man is found dead in mysterious circumstances in a shabby Indian guesthouse, leaving an assortment of women to reassemble the pieces of his secret life; a young English girl with a beautiful voice infiltrates Fifth Avenue theatrical royalty; and a beautiful Hollywood film star exacts a clever, protracted revenge on her nemesis.

Speaking of mortality and family rivalry, of power, of love and the loss of innocence, this is a delicious assortment of fairytales and parables.

'A hugely enjoyable collection, written with sly humour' Peter Parker, Sunday Times

'These stories show of her extraordinary range [and] also have a wistful underlying flavour of the Brothers Grimm' The Times

'Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is in a category of her own' Patrick French, Financial Times
