Untitled Stone Barrington #63

(Penguin Classics/Deluxe Edition). Originally published in 1951, the novel was acclaimed by William Faulkner, as "...one of the best, most true and moving novels...in anybody's language."

In these nine tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit. "Brisk, ironic...scalpel-sharp."
