Omschrijving
A seductive collection of stories from the 'magnificent story-teller' (Independent on Sunday). And in the grandest house of all, Danni the Polish housekeeper catches the eye of an enigmatic visitor.
‘Superb, each story a perfectly cut jewel’ Irish Times
Powerful, involving, wide-ranging collection
Tremain presents a large cast of ill-starred characters, each laid low by their heart… But even in the most melancholy stories, Tremain delivers slivers of hope or humour to temper the tragedies… This collection highlights with subtlety and grace just how human it is to get things wrong
Warm, moving, often humorous and sometimes heartbreaking
A seemingly effortless performance... the writing glides along, elegantly dropping details that suggest a whole way of life
The American Lover is…superb, each story a perfectly cut jewel
