Elegant, timeless, and riveting: an exciting anthology of short stories by mid-century women writers from Britain and Ireland—many being published in America for the first time

These remarkable short stories from the 1940s and 50s depict women and men caught between the pull of personal desires and profound social change. From a remote peninsula in Cornwall to the drawing rooms of the British Raj, domestic arrangements are rewritten, social customs are revoked and new freedoms are embraced.

Selected and introduced by writer and critic Lucy Scholes, Senior Editor at McNally Editions, this collection places works from renowned women writers alongside recently rediscovered voices.

Contains:
  • “The Cut Finger” by Frances Bellerby
  • “Summer Night” by Elizabeth Bowen
  • “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier
  • “The Land Girl” by Diana Gardner
  • “Listen to the Magnolias” by Stella Gibbons
  • “Shocking Weather, Isn”t It?” by Inez Holden
  • “The First Party” by Attia Hosain
  • “Three Miles Up” by Elizabeth Jane Howard
  • “The Skylight” by Penelope Mortimer
  • “The Thames Spread Out” by Elizabeth Taylor
  • “Scorched Earth Policy” by Sylvia Townsend Warner

Suffused with tension and longing, the captivating stories collected here from acclaimed as well as lesser-known women writers form a window onto a remarkable era of writing.

Highly recommend this extra soft, plushy, ripple warm fluff blanket! Looks great, feels great!
Color: Light Blue, Size: Twin
Oh wow this is such a nice blanket!! I have 3 of their regular fleece blankets, without the ripple- just plain fleece and they get washed 1x a week for about 2 years now and they have held up beautifully —- except for the mocha one I keep on my bed that my dog loves to dig in is starting to get frayed —- but it is still nicely soft! Just looks a bit worn so popped on for a bed upgrade since we are in winterageddon the saga that never ends this winter 2026…. I was going to order the same mocha again because I really like this brand and I absolutely get the 25$ moneys worth at 2 years… then this rippled one showed up…. Ok let’s try something new. I am SO glad I upgraded to this ripple! It is plush, and soft, and washed beautifully, and dried beautifully in reg cotton heat— even though it says medium heat care…. I put it on my bed and it looks beautiful! The ripples feel so soft and fluffy— but no fluff or fabric cast off! Even going through the dryer I thought for sure I would have a lint tray full—- it really wasn’t a lot! The color of the light baby blue is just perfect for a cream bedroom or as a navy accent color— it’s a cool true baby blue that looks great with my navy beige and cream bedroom. It is so warm! Much thicker feeling than the plain fleece blanket by bed sure—- some will like the heavier weight- I personally like the weight of blankets so this was a win!! 100% worth the price- highly recommend!
