Chosen by the editors of "The New York Times Book Review" as one of the eight best books of 1996, "After Rain" presents a collection of twelve dazzling, acutely rendered stories that plumb the depths of the human heart. "Short fiction at its finest".--"San Francisco Chronicle".
Here we encounter a blind piano tuner whose wonderful memories of his first wife are cruelly distorted by his second; a woman in a difficult marriage who must choose between her indignant husband and her closest friend; and two children, survivors of divorce, who mimic their parents' melodramas.
