Days Like Today

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Rachel Ingalls was born in Boston in 1940. She spent time in Germany before studying at Radcliffe College, and moved to England in 1965, where she lived for the rest of her life. Her debut novel, Theft (1970), won the Authors' Club First Novel Award, and her novella Mrs Caliban (1982) was named one of the 20 best American novels since World War Two by the British Book Marketing Council. Over half a century, Ingalls wrote 11 story collections and novellas - all published by Faber - to great acclaim, but remains relatively unknown. She died in 2019 after a revival of interest in her work.

Zusammenfassung

In this collection of five stories by a great short story writer, prototypes from the ancient world cast a shadow over our age. Each story poses the same questions: what do people really believe in, where can they put their trust, and why do they continue to hope?
