<p><b>¿A master class in the art of storytelling¿ <i>Observer</i></b><br><b><br>This short story collection demonstrates the enormous range of Tremain¿s talent and imagination. </b><br><br>The teasing and brilliant title story, <i>Evangelista''s Fan</i>, is set in a disturbing dreamlike version of Regency London, where a young italian clockmaker contrives a magical means, not only of repairing time, but also of unlocking the mechanism of sexual happiness.<br><br>Here is history - Agincourt as seen by the herald who rides between the two camps - alongside such contemporary issues as mortgage debt and medical error. <br><br>Here are stories set in Cornwall, Corsica, Nashville, Niagara and an unidentified city which conjures up any and every Western European capital. <br><br>Here are the obstinate dreams of the old and the passionate struggles of the young; here is heartbreak and humour; and here, above all, is love in its many and varied forms.</p>
