Three Stories

About the Book

Three Stories is about women and the places they call home. In "To Naples", Iris has found the place where she is at peace. Unfortunately, her husband has found another place with a very different lifestyle. "To Boston" is about Lydia, a young girl from Newfoundland who comes to Boston to work as a domestic, but it is her intellectual energy that finds her a future. Her friend Stella, however, is encouraged (manipulated?) to circumvent the law. "Widows´ Row" is about women in transition. From family life in a Rhode Island village, they try to move on alone.
