  This new collection of stories from acclaimed novelist and short-story writer Jane Gardam is full of perceptive and original insights. Sister Luke and Sister Reparatrice, out in the convent's Morris Traveller, have a bizarre adventure; Kalus, who is a stranger to passion, becomes emotional over a huge and delicious lunch; and, in the title story, the history of three generations is told in a way which turns all our preconceptions on their heads.

  Molly Fielding's mother had been a terrible woman...'

  A terrible woman indeed. One need only to look at the old sepia photograph to see a vision of nastiness. The look of cunning, the self-satisfied smile, the aura of hauteur as she watches the little Italian photographer go about his business. They say the camera never lies, but maybe this one did...

  'Going into the Dark House', the title story of Jane Gardam's passionate new collection, brilliantly captures the subtly subversive qualities of her art. Quietly mesmeric and quite beautifully written, these ten stories are a delight.
