About This Item

Biege paper boards over brown cloth spine with gilt title to front and spine. From the dustjacket: "In this collection of twelve stories the author evokes the longing we feel for beauty in our relationships with one another, with the past, with nature. In these stories we find men or women - sometimes at odds with themselves, sometimes transcendently well grounded - who have an experience that is profound, unsettling, and oddly liberating."
