In this superb collection, named one of the five best books of fiction for 2001 by The New York Times, characters are subtly revealed and personal stories unfold in rich detail. The fate of a housekeeper is unintentionally reversed by a teenage girl’s practical joke. A college student visiting her aunt stumbles on a long-hidden secret and its meaning in her own life.
