In this stellar collection of short stories, Helen Simpson explores independence, solitude, marriage, sex and babies with her characteristic blend of comedy and lyricism. Here are tales of young love - successful or thwarted, intense or comic.

Recensione:
"Of all contemporary writers, Simpson has the most honest, the most authentic voice" (The Times)
"Her stories can be read quickly, knocked back in a single, grateful gulp like an aperitif, or savoured with a slow, cool intoxication... She is Katherine Mansfield's natural successor" (Observer)
"Biting wit...has me laughing aloud" (Pat Barker)
"Simpson's wit defies formulaic feminism or, indeed, any other -ism... Very, very funny" (Evening Standard)
"Full of good jokes, wonderfully alert to irony and the possibilities of language" (Jonathan Coe)
