Download Starting Over: Stories AudioBook Free
Among the masters of American brief fiction - writer of The Light in the Piazza - dividends with a fresh collection of reports. Within the release of her first book in 1948, Elizabeth Spencer was immediately championed by Robert Penn Warren and Eudora Welty, setting off a remarkable profession as one of the great literary voices of the American South. Her profession, now spanning seven generations, persists here with nine new reports. In Starting Over, Spencer profits to the profound emotional fault lines and unseen fractures that lay underneath the veneer of happy family life. In "Sightings," a stressed daughter suddenly profits to the house of the daddy she accidently blinded during her parents' bitter parting; in "Blackie," the reappearance of a child from a divorcee's first relationship sets off a harrowing confrontation with her new family; while in "The Wedding Visitor," a cousin travels home and then find himself entwined in the events leading up to a family wedding. In these nine reports, Spencer excels at revealing the flawed textile of human relations.
