Cliffs of Fall
by Shirley Hazzard
"Shirley Hazzard's stories are portrayals of moments of crisis. Whether they are set in the Italian countryside or suburban Connecticut, the stories deal with real people and real problems." "In the title piece, a young widow is surprised and ashamed by her lack of grief for her husband. In "A Place in the Country," a young woman has a passionate, guilty affair with her cousin's husband. In "Harold," a gawky, lonely young man finds acceptance and respect through his poetry." "These ten stories are written with subtlety, humor, and a keen understanding of the relationships between men and women."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
"THE Ferguson's door opened on a burst of light and voices, and on Evie's squeal of surprise-quite as if, Minna thought, we had turned up uninvited."
