…begins with a story set in the sort of mythical small town of plenty that Krasikov's characters might dream of…Here Groff peers behind the white picket fence to reveal a nastier underside; other stories take in World War II, and transpose the tale of Heloise And Abelard to New York in 1918. |

Bringing together nine stories, it moves almost effortlessly through different locales, from Templeton to Argentina, post-first world war New York to contemporary America … in her strongest writing, Groff echoes the magic of her gothic forebears |
