Description:"'I am like a young girl in love,' she reproached herself ... 'I am old enough to know better.' She was swept with nostalgia for youth when at least love was not ridiculous, when one had a right to grief, even to a broken heart" Barbara Drake contemplates the end of the an illicit affair, sipping cocktails whilst her friends quietly dissect her lover in conversation; Ida Chadwick confronts her husband's infidelity as she looks into a hairdresser's mirror, her wet hair lank, her face wiped free of make-up; a woman convalescing watches the pattern of the changing seasons and the woman in the window opposite, divided from her by the loneliness they share; and a couple mourning the death of their youngest child mask their grief with the excessive glitter of a Christmas tree. In this, the first British publication of a collection of symbolic short stories, Marjorie Barnard delves into the experience of women, the bonds which exist between them and the nature of their relationships with men. Originally published in 1943, this edition includes three additional stories, previously unpublished in book form.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
