Synopsis

The ghost of a doomed romance haunts an Oxford undergraduate's idyllic summer affair; a tragedy of hopeless love and murderous frustration is played out against the backdrop of a provincial repertory company; passion and hatred flower side by side in suburban back gardens. Angela Huth peoples her stories with elderly ladies living out extraordinary fantasy lives and betrayed wives wreaking subtle revenge, drawing out their secret disappointments and their dreams of glamour. She brings to this exquisite collection all the wry delicacy, subversive wit and keen eye for the drama in the quietest of lives that characterise her acclaimed novels. 'Filled with the crackle of conflict and quietly crazed obsession ...Huth's controlled, elegant style has been compared to Jane Austen's but her talent is entirely original' Penny Parrick, THE TIMES

Media Reviews
Marvellously subversive MARIE CLAIRE Angela Huth showed astonishing new depth and emotional power in LAND GIRLS. In ANOTHER KIND OF CINDERELLA this form is maintained ... each tale is like the curious haunting snatch of a song: each one stays in the mind DAILY TELEGRAPH There are few better at describing the deceptions, both deliberate and unintentional, in human behaviour... EVENING STANDARD Huth's range is wide and here she writes with sympathy and affection. NIGHT AND DAY
