Sinopsis

The Lilac Bowl, Melanie Wyllie&rsquo,s third collection of short stories, is set in post-war Britain as it moves out of drab austerity into a new era of cosmopolitan affluence. With characteristic wit, imagination and empathy, Melanie Wyllie depicts a set of characters as diverse as the range of situations in which they find themselves. Some are caught up in the pursuit of better things (&lsquo,Snare&rsquo,, &lsquo,Charmed&rsquo,, &lsquo,A Trip to the Moon&rsquo,, &lsquo,The Lilac Bowl&rsquo,), some are haunted by the past (&lsquo,But for the Grace of God&rsquo,, &lsquo,Shadows&rsquo,), and some are trapped in an endless present (&lsquo,Toccata&rsquo,, &lsquo,Heartburn&rsquo,, &lsquo,Griffin&rsquo,). All of them are distinctive &mdash, for their ambition, frustration, nostalgia, solitude, and romance &mdash, as they each face the consequences of their own quiet choices
