From Booklist These 14 delicately observed short stories are made up of minutiae about women on the cusp of change, when they are open and available to new sensations, ideas, and lives. Glimpsed possibilities, flashes of intuition, fragmentary images, and fleeting perceptions form the knobs, twists, and strands of these stories. Throughout, the theme of transition is present, and with it, transformation from one age of womanhood to another, as when a woman in midlife is able to perceive of herself as older only upon the death of her own mother and imagines that the event also enables her daughter to enter the psychological realm of middle age. Always, kinship to the earth, that great mother of us all, is stressed in stories of the power of floods and of farmers held at home by the demands of summer crops as well as in stunning images, such as of a flock of crows chorusing through the woods and of a marsh defined by wintry tones of gray. These are simple, earthgrounded, elegantly written elegies to the passing of time and lives. Whitney Scott Product Description Stories feature individuals coming to terms with new insights about themselves, their families, and their relationships From Library Journal As short stories about women who must decide their priorities as they face turning points in midlife, these are tales of quiet crises and developing insights. Unmarried independence, empty nests, dissolving marriages, postmarital alliances, and aging partners all contribute to the characters' growth and change in simple, welldrawn vignettes that reflect life experiences. With quiet compassion for the troubled wives, mothers, daughters, and grandmothers who must assess their situations, cut roots, and move forward to face new beginnings, Knox gives readers much with which to identify. Women of all ages will find these stories psychologically satisfying and skillfully written. Recommended.?Ellen R. Cohen, Rockville, Md.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
