A âluminescentâ collection of stories about nine Southern women from the Pulitzer Prizeâwinning author of The Keepers of the House (The New York Times). The nine namesake women of this collection come from widely disparate worlds, from isolated bayou towns to New Orleans high society. All, however, struggle with grief, longing, and hope. In âWidows Walk,â Myra Rowland tries to make sense of life after the death of her husband. âIn the Beginningâ depicts a daughter trying to understand her own motherâs determination to raise her up from abject poverty. âEnding,â meanwhile, tells of a couple whose union dissolves just as their daughter marries. In many cases, these protagonists are struggling to accept the sudden loss of life and love in a land teeming with both. In this unforgettable volume, one of Americaâs most masterful storytellers writes with an eye for the female experience and the teeming diversity of life in the Deep South. âGrauâs tremendous powers of description, ability to conjure atmosphere, and impeccable prose elevate her to the top tier of American short story stylistsâ (Booklist). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the authorâs personal collection.
