'Lively remains a sublime storyteller' Guardian on How It All Began
'More stylish than many writers half her age . . . Lively knows a
thing of two about storytelling.' The Times on How It All Began A
dream house that is hiding something sinister; two women having
lunch who share a husband; an old woman doing her weekly
supermarket shop with a secret past that no one could guess; a
couple who don't know each other at all even after fifteen years
together; and, in the story from which this collection takes its
name, a bird and a servant girl in ancient Pompeii who cannot
converse, but share a perfect understanding. In this new and varied
collection of short stories, Penelope Lively shows that she remains
a master of her craft, and one of our finest English writers.
