Margaret Drabble è una delle principali figure letterarie della sua generazione. In questa raccolta dei suoi racconti completi, che coprono un arco di quattro decenni, esamina gli intensi mondi privati e le passioni delle persone comuni. Dall'epifania della luna di miele di un uomo in "Hassan's Tower" alle fantasie di viaggio di "A Voyage to Cythera", e dalla gioia acuta di "The Merry Widow" alla cruenta realtà del racconto che dà il titolo alla raccolta, questi sono racconti commoventi, spiritosi e provocatori, che esplorano relazioni crudeli e amorevoli, cambiamenti sociali e ossessioni personali, e confermano il suo status di una delle principali praticanti dell'arte del racconto breve.
