The Persephone Book of Short Stories

Persephone Book no. 100 is The Persephone Book of Short Stories. 

‘Most of the stories focus on the small, quiet or unspoken intricacies of human relationships rather than grand dramas” wrote the Persephone proofreader, and she pointed out that “the use of metaphor is delicate and subtle; often the women are strong and capable and the men less so; shallow and selfish motives are exposed, and all the stories except the last are third-person. The dates of the stories range from 1909 to 1986 and there are thirty in all.
