The Second Penguin Book of Modern Women's Short Stories by Susan Hill

This superb and absorbing collection of short stories has been chosen by the acclaimed writer and novelist Susan Hill to reflect the excellence and diversity of women writers. Appearing alongside established short-story writers - Katherine Mansfield, Carson McCullers, Eudora Welty - are newer writers such as Roxana Robinson, Catherine Merriman and Andrea Barrett whose work is fresh and equally exciting, showing that literary excellence is not restricted to the well known.
