Sugar and Other Stories by A. S. Byatt

Collected in a single volume for the first time—an unforgettable book of short stories from the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession that explores the fragile ties between generations, the dizzying abyss of loss, and the elaborate memories we construct against it.  In this book of short fictions, A.S. Byatt compels us to inhabit other lives and returns us to our own with new knowledge, compassion, and a sense of wonder."Byatt's stories display all her talents as a novelist, but spiced with an additional friskiness." —Evening Standard
