REVIEWS
"They are a revelation to me, I was transfixed by the quality of the writing. It seemed to me that they are quite radical stories, they were quite sharp and hard and disruptive as ideas." - Charlie Lee-Potter
"These short stories, written during the Second World War and just after, are suprisingly raw and sharp. But they are among the best I have ever read. There is a particularly haunting one about a soldier coming home on leave and his Lady Bountiful mother being uninterested in him." - Amazon Reviewer

Endpaper: 'Web', Graham Sutherland's screen-printed rayon crêpe fabric, was a 1947 design for Cresta Silks. It has a period austerity, while the jagged web imagery suits stories in which many of the characters are trapped - by other people's preconceptions or by the rigidity of their mindsets.
