Hadley Freeman, Sunday Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight stories of love and loss, drama and glamour, hope and rejection, from a writer at the height of his powers. Everett's first, glorious collection of stories takes us on an exhilarating journey with a cast of extraordinary characters. A blackly humorous story of a chaotic and emotional funeral in Paris. Oscar Wilde's last night in Paris, vividly evocative, unflinching and elegiac. A Russian-American countess who confronts sex and age in a Wiltshire teashop. The ferociously unforgiving life of an L.A. talent agency and the unexpected twist that launches a completely different kind of career. The deathbed confession of a woman who left home for 1850s India, never to return. A story of emigration, love and grief. And a beautifully evocative and touching portrayal of Proust's creative life and his childhood. Everett's writing is incredibly good. His stories are both moving and tender, often outrageous, and funny too. A gifted storyteller.
