Opis

Featuring the two novellas: The Train Now Departing and When -The Mousetrap- Closes -Full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best.---Library Journal-Grimes has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation--and possibly her audience.---The Richmond-Times Dispatch-Atmospheric and chilling...Grimes exhibits] a complete mastery of emotional nuance and a] virtuoso treatment of the grayest coloration.---The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)-Intelligent...Merits applause.---The Toronto Star-As atmospherically evocative as an] Edward Hopper painting.---The Washington Post -An a cappella novella, each note strong and noncompetitive.---Los Angeles Times-Grimes once again demonstrates her keen eye for character. Both of these languidly paced novellas focus on middle-aged women who long for respite from their narrow, disappointing lives and find it, at least temporarily, in the company of a man...Thoughtful, compelling, even dark stories--for readers more inclined toward investigating emotions than searching for armchair adventure.---Booklist
