Constitutional
by Helen Simpson
A woman's grief is assuaged by carpentry; a smoker's health scare momentarily puts his failing marriage back on track; and a mother's forgetfulness has unfortunate consequences for her long-suffering son, with unfortunate results.
Much praised by readers and authors alike, Simpson's spare writing is poised, moving and funny. The stories in this new collection are peopled by recognisable characters in recognisable situations.
