Some stories stand out more than others, but, overall, I have a fondness for Lively's writing style. My favorites are: "A Clean Death," "Venice, Now and Then," "Grow Old Along With Me...," "The Darkness Out There," "A Long Night at Abu Simbel," "Clara's Day," and "The French Exchange." ( ) Nothing Missing but the Samovar - A beautifully rendered story told from the perspective of a German student visiting the estate of an arisrocratic English family who have fallen on hard times yet maintain a wonderfully staid optimism and love of their farm and way of life. Very English. Servants Talk about People: Gentlefolk discuss things - I'll remember this every time I dine in a restaurant. funniest story I've read in years! Long Night at Abu Simbel - Very funny tale of how rapidly our veneer of civility wears away in the face of a bit of difficulty far from home. The Art of Biography - Loved the juxtaposition of a great historical love affair and the narrator's rather pedestrian one. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
