Nights at the Embassy Smither, Elizabeth The story of first love doomed by poor eyesight, the travels of the life mask of a Romantic poet, how an actress stopped a game of tennis, and what a policeman said to a carload of nurses in Piccadilly Circus . . . these are only glimpses from a sparkling collection of stories, Elizabeth Smither shows enormous delight in human character, treating her subjects with amusement and affection. She writes about the lives of girls and women, about love affairs and marriages, families and friendships but she never moralises and always casts a quirky, witty, individual eye on female experience She enjoys the pleasures of art and revels in the deft execution of word and phrase. Better known as a port, Elizabeth Smither turns effortlessly into a short-story writer of brilliance and style. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
