Novela, short story, and one-act play collection by the noted Tennessee author. "Peter Taylor draws us again into a world that he has made distinctively his own in his fiction, the comfortable society of affluent Tennesseeans--men and women of good character, with a sense of family, of style, and an awareness of the past that has shaped them. Yet for all their rootedness, other forces--often alien--intervene to change the course of fate in these entrancing, often chilling tales" (from front flap). [82070].
