Elegant, timeless, and riveting: an exciting anthology of short stories by mid-century women writers from Britain and Ireland—many being published in America for the first time
These remarkable short stories from the 1940s and 50s depict women and men caught between the pull of personal desires and profound social change. From a remote peninsula in Cornwall to the drawing rooms of the British Raj, domestic arrangements are rewritten, social customs are revoked and new freedoms are embraced.

Selected and introduced by writer and critic Lucy Scholes, Senior Editor at McNally Editions, this collection places works from renowned women writers alongside recently rediscovered voices.

Contains:
  • “The Cut Finger” by Frances Bellerby
  • “Summer Night” by Elizabeth Bowen
  • “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier
  • “The Land Girl” by Diana Gardner
  • “Listen to the Magnolias” by Stella Gibbons
  • “Shocking Weather, Isn”t It?” by Inez Holden
  • “The First Party” by Attia Hosain
  • “Three Miles Up” by Elizabeth Jane Howard
  • “The Skylight” by Penelope Mortimer
  • “The Thames Spread Out” by Elizabeth Taylor
  • “Scorched Earth Policy” by Sylvia Townsend Warner

Suffused with tension and longing, the captivating stories collected here from acclaimed as well as lesser-known women writers form a window onto a remarkable era of writing.

Came on time
Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone
It’s very pretty and the engraving is precise and done well I’m not a big fan of the stone it’s not the right color for July it’s more of a dark pink instead of red but besides that it’s a good deal for the price I plan on buying 2 more hoping the color of those stones will be better.

The engraving is beyond belief!!!
Color: B2: Black Bar + Birthstone
My necklace turned out so perfectly beautiful and considering how many things I requested to be written on it I am surprised. It also arrived very quickly and again considering the amount of things I requested to have written on it! The engraver did such beautiful work. Thank you!!! I would definitely recommend this company for any jewelry that anyone is looking for. I miss my little black cat 🐈‍⬛ but she’s closer to me when I wear my necklace, which is all the time and I get a lot of compliments. I love love love my necklace and will cherish it always. Thank you sincerely ♥️
