Angela Huth omnibus - Angela Huth

ANOTHER KIND OF CINDERELLA: The ghost of a doomed romance haunts an Oxford undergraduate's idyllic summer affair; a tragedy of hopeless love and murderous frustration is played out against the backdrop of a provincial repertory company; passion and hatred flower side by side in suburban back gardens. Angela Huth brings to this exquisite collection all the wry delicacy, subversive wit and keen eye for the drama in the quietest of lives that characterise her acclaimed novels.

EASY SILENCE: William and Grace share what seems to them an ideal marriage. William enjoys a successful career in a relatively famous string quartet, and Grace is a children's book illustrator. Both in their 50s, neither have any reason to believe that their relationship could be threatened. But when Andrew, the quartet's viola player, retires with arthritis, he is replaced by the beautiful Bonnie. It is not long before William has even begun to think the unthinkable: that his faithful, loving wife Grace Has Got To Go...

Angela Huth has written three short story collections and several novels. She also writes plays for radio, television and stage, and is a well-known freelance journalist, critic and broadcaster. She is married to a don, lives in Oxford and has two daughters.
