The Madonna of the Pool by Helen Stancey

The Madonna of the Pool

Category: General Fiction, Short Story Collections

A moving collection of literary short stories exploring the triumphs, compromises and challenges of everyday life.

Drawing on a wide array of characters, Helen Stancey shows how small events, insignificant to some, can resonate deeply in the lives of others. Richly poetic, deeply moving and entirely engaging, these short stories demonstrate an exquisite understanding of human adaptation, endurance and, most of all, optimism.
