HTML:<b>An “abundantly rich collection” of short stories by the Man Booker Prize–winning author (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>).</b><br />  <br /> In <i>Pack of Cards</i>, Penelope Lively shares moments in the everyday world that are not always open to observation, as she delves into the minutiae of her characters’ lives.<br />  <br /> Whether she writes about a widow on a visit to Russia, a small boy’s consignment to boarding school, or an agoraphobic housewife, Lively takes the reader behind a closed curtain, through the locked door, and into a world that seems at first mundane—then proves to be uniquely memorable.<br />  <br /> “Witty, profoundly civilized . . . This captivatingly intelligent collection confirms Lively’s place as one of Britain’s most imaginative and important contemporary writers.” —<i>Library Journal</i>.
