The seven stories in this selection span Clarke's early career,
ranging from The Woman in Question, a drug affected man who is
unable to let go of the woman he loves that ultimately leads him to
the person responsible for her death. In The Wager, an unscrupulous
man bets that a black servant won't be accepted into English high
society; in The Unyielding Wind, Clarke reimagines the myth of Pan
and Syrinx; and in Stabat Mater, an unhappy wife discovers her
husband is having an affair with her sister that leads to a chain
reaction resulting in murder and moral depravity. The haunting, The
Unobtainable Agnes depicts a young man's love for an older woman,
who happens to be a nun and the resulting emotional tension that
follows. Beautifully drawn, Clarke's stories are as rich and
resonant as his novels.
