A collection of four stories including the title novella which is a tender and highly acclaimed portrait of a marriage in trouble and how life and social conventions can slaughter love. This award winning classic tells the story of a working class couple and the gender determined differences in their experiences of poverty and familial life that have given rise to bitter conflict after almost four decades of marriage.
