Featuring the two novellas:

The Train Now Departing and When The Mousetrap Closes

Full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best.--Library Journal

Grimes has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation--and possibly her audience.--The Richmond-Times Dispatch

Atmospheric and chilling...Grimes [exhibits] a complete mastery of emotional nuance and [a] virtuoso treatment of the grayest coloration.--The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Intelligent...Merits applause.--The Toronto Star

As atmospherically evocative as [an] Edward Hopper painting.--The Washington Post

An a cappella novella, each note strong and noncompetitive.--Los Angeles Times

Grimes once again demonstrates her keen eye for character. Both of these languidly paced novellas focus on middle-aged women who long for respite from their narrow, disappointing lives and find it, at least temporarily, in the company of a man...Thoughtful, compelling, even dark stories--for readers more inclined toward investigating emotions than searching for armchair adventure.--Booklist
