Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger

by Lee Smith

Lee Smith is a "teller of tales for tale tellers to admire and envy . . . [and] a reader’s dream" ( Houston Chronicle ). A celebrated and bestselling writer with a dozen novels under her name, including Fair and Tender Ladies , Oral History , and The Last Girls , she is just as widely recognized for her exceptional short stories. Here, in Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger , Smith collects seven brand-new stories along with seven of her favorites from three earlier collections. The result? A book of dazzling richness. As the New York Times Book Review put it, "In al- most every one of [her stories] there is a moment of vision, or love, or unclothed wonder that transforms something plain into something transcendent."
