A collection of work by an American author and playwright who spent most of her adult life in the UK. Her native Pennsylvania remained the setting for much of her writing, and features prominently in the play which gives this book its title – a tense, compelling family drama of love and jealousy, casting the long shadow of ancient myth across the cosy stabilities of mid-century America. Also included is a short story of small-town betrayal, and a selection of the author's evocative poetry.
