A "luminescent" collection of stories about nine Southern women from the Pulitzer Prize–winning 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 "Widows Walk," Myra Rowland tries to make sense of life after the death of her husband. "In the Beginning" depicts a daughter trying to understand her own mother's determination to raise her up from abject poverty. "Ending," 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 America's most masterful storytellers writes with an eye for the female experience and the teeming diversity of life in the Deep South. "Grau's tremendous powers of description, ability to conjure atmosphere, and impeccable prose elevate her to the top tier of American short story stylists" ( Booklist).
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

ଲେଖକଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ
Shirley Ann Grau (1929–2020) was the Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist of nine novels and short story collections set primarily in her native South. Grau was raised in Alabama and Louisiana, and many of her novels document the broad social changes of the Deep South during the twentieth century, particularly as they affected African Americans. Grau's first novel, The Hard Blue Sky (1958), about the descendants of European pioneers living on an island off the coast of Louisiana, established her as a master of vivid description, of both characters and locale, a style she maintained throughout her career. Her public profile rose during the civil rights movement, when her dynastic novel Keepers of the House (1964), which dealt with race relations in Alabama, earned her the Pulitzer Prize.
