Summary

Huth's most brilliant stories are about successful couples who own comfortable houses, enjoy interesting lives, raise attractive children - and commit adultery. On the other hand, the author is equally concerned with the old, the lonely and the hard-up, perceiving the exiguous sources from which they derive their hope or consolation and the last straws which drive them to despair. Like an experienced naturalist, she moves invisibly through social undergrowth, observing the quirks of human fauna - solitary, coupling, flocking, moulting, displaying, or dying. Angela Huth has the gift of infiltrating the lives and minds of her characters whatever their age and social background.
