Innocents

4.2/5 ( ratings)

A. L. Barker's debut short story collection, and winner of the first Somerset Maugham Prize.

This fascinating and highly acclaimed debut collection by A. L. Barker instantly marked her out as a remarkable new talent. Each story describes a crisis in life; each reveals the impact of experience upon innocence, or vice versa.

'[her] remarkable descriptive powers, her feeling for the exact word and the right combination of adjectives are the most satisfyingly applied to the evocation of landscape ... Barker writes wih a subtlety and precision which are as delightful as they are rare.' Times Literary Supplement
