Description
Stunning power and beauty abound in this poignant collection of three novellas. Bette Howland's masterful storytelling showcases her talent for crafting stories that are both haunting and urgent. In 'Birds of a Feather', a daughter's story of her extended family is a merciless and astute observation of the confusions and difficulties of their history. In 'The Old Wheeze', a single mother's return to her apartment after a date at the ballet is a powerful exploration of the impossibility of liberating ourselves from the self. The novella 'The Life You Gave Me' is a lament for all that is forever unsaid and unsayable, a complaint against time. This edition of Things to Come and Go features an introduction by Rumaan Alam, a bestselling author.
