description: The stories in this collection are stories of ordinary people who sometimes do extraordinary things. There is the paraplegic who quietly inspires everyone she meets. Here we find a young Swedish woman of the nineteenth century who wins her love by fooling a patriarchal father. A young actress holds an audience spellbound then disappears. Will she return? An imperious woman, the scourge of her village, has an incredible past. These stories illuminate a landscape that is rich proud and almost unfailingly generous.
