CLASSIC WOMEN'S SHORT STORIES The Garden Party, Daughters of the Late Colonel, Lilacs, Ma'ame Pelagie, A Mark on the Wall

This collection presents two stories of Katherine Mansfield and Kate Chopin and one of Virginia Woolf. One of the the stories--"The Daughters of the Late Colonel"--is abridged. The selected stories offer an opportunity to sample the work of three important writers from the twentieth century. Teresa Gallagher, Carole Boyd, and Liza Ross are powerful narrators, who draw out the style of these remarkable women writers. Musical segues between the stories and notes that provide time for each side are helpful although turning to a particular story will take some hunting. Listing times by story on a particular side would make this less of a challenge. In any event, this is a nice collection, well read.
