Whether set in the Italian countryside or suburban Connecticut, Shirley Hazzard's stories are sharp, sensitive portrayals of moments of crisis. In the title piece, a young widow is surprised and ashamed by her lack of grief for her husband. In `Harold , a gawky, lonely young man finds acceptance and respect through his poetry. Moving and evocative, these ten stories are written with subtlety, humour and a keen understanding of the relationships between men and women. Shortlisted for the Orange Prize, Shirley Hazzard won Australia's biggest literary prize, the Miles Franklin Literary Award, and the National Book Award in the United States for The Great Fire.
'Shirley Hazzard has such a treasury of style that she can economize or splurge, and, because her taste in unerring, every expenditure is right' Vogue
Shirley Hazzard is the acclaimed author of five works of fiction. The Transit of Venus won the National Book Critics' Award and her most recent novel, The Great Fire, won the National Book Award and the Miles Franklin Award and was shortlisted for the Orange Prize.
