Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen
Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen | Elizabeth Bowen
12 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Widely known for her much-admired novels, including "The Heat of the Day," "The House in Paris," and "The Death of the Heart," Elizabeth Bowen established herself in the front rank of the century's writers equally through her short fiction. This collection brings together seventy-nine magnificent stories written over the course of four decades. Vividly featuring scenes of bomb-scarred London during the Blitz, frustrated lovers, acutely obcerved children, and even vengeful ghosts, these stories reinforce Bowen's reputation as an artist whose finely chiseled narratives rich in imagination, psychological insight, and craft transcend their time and place."

On June 7th 1899 , Elizabeth Bowen was born. I‘ve read a couple of her books , The House in Paris maybe another one.🤔Some of her books were reprinted in Virago editions, I don‘t have any of those & I haven‘t read this short story collection.

Centique I have so many feels about The Children's Book. Mostly love - but I got so angry at one of the characters! Hope you enjoy it 😊 8y
