LOVE AT A GIRLS' SCHOOL, is a funny, touching collection of short stories previously published in the Notre Dame Review, North American Review, The Sea Letter, and other respected literary journals. Using her penetrating eye, wicked sense of humor, and vivid imagination, Diana Altman shares her take on college life in the 1960's in stories such as the title story, Love at a Girls' School. In Receptions with the Poet, we meet Theodore Howland the narrator's beloved teacher who betrays her. Waiting for Jasmine, is set in recent times and takes the reader into a shelter for homeless women where life is sometimes violent and often confusing not because of the women who come to the shelter for food and a bed, but because of the eccentric and unbalanced women who work in the shelter. Itty Bitty Betsy is a tiny secretary who works in the narrator's hobo bag giving her the items she requests so the narrator won't have to scrounge around in there to find things. The stories are witty, poignant, and often hilarious. A fast-moving, easy to read and entertaining collection that will introduce the reader to a master of the form.
