A Garden amid Fires: Stories Gladys Swan

Nine stories...skillfully track time's toll on the ability to live and love fully. -- Publishers Weekly. "With A GARDEN AMID FIRES Swan claims new mastery of the short story. A wide variety of settings adds brilliance to important thems: the irresistible powers of memory, the confusions of exile, genuineness and falsity in art, the integrity of loneliness... Uncannily good." -- Fred Chappell.
