<p><b>Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. </b><br><br>Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: ¿You¿d make a terrific mother¿. That¿s when she goes to her friends¿ Labor Day picnic and accidentally kills their baby.<br><br>The shock of this scene is expertly packed into two brief paragraphs. What follows is Adrienne¿s retreat from life and her attempt to return to it.<br><br>Her sharp scepticism about the people around her is achingly funny. Yet beyond derision there is forgiveness and something along the lines of love.<br><br><b>Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.</b></p>
