About this book
A snowy wood becomes a meeting place for the Spirits of Art, History and Philosophy in the opening story of this collection. Each hopes to carry its beauty back to the city. Margery Verner Reed moves from this fable to sharply personal scenes: a child seeking warmth in a troubled Russian city, an old attachment recalled through fallen rose petals, and a restless visitor searching for comfort among the pictures and books of Paris.
These short pieces often turn on an image or an object that brings buried feeling to the surface. Another story follows Dasha Ivanovna, a musician whose return to Russia brings a change in her beliefs and a determination to help people displaced by war. A sculptor addressing his own marble angel offers another study of creative distress.
