A Day in the Life of a Smiling Woman by Margaret Drabble
A collection of tales that range from one man's honeymooning epiphany in "Hassan's Tower" to the journeying fantasies of "A Voyage to Cythera", and the joy of "The Merry Widow" which explore cruel and loving relationships, social change and personal obsessions.
Brims with sharply observed life and the author's seemingly infinite sympathy for "ordinary women" -- Joyce Carol Oates
Drabble writes so penetratingly about the female condition that it is impossible not to laugh, wince and admire -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman *
