First published in 1912, this is a collection of witty, sharply observed short stories which engage with feminism, the 'fast' New Women of the 1890s, alongside narratives which exp lore the personal and emotional conflict experienced by people torn between multiple ethnicities or between different social and national groups. Bertha Thomas lightly but deftly sketches her characters with a sharp eye for humorous and satirical detail. Her stories are by turns Gothic, romantic, humorous, fantastic, satirical but always engagingly written. Fourteenth in the Honno Classics series Show more
