Early Sorrow: Ten Stories of Youth

Elizabeth Bowen

4/5 ( ratings)

For this companion volume to "An Overpraised Season," Charlotte Zolotow has selected ten short stories, written by masters of the form, that explore sorrow as it is felt in youth. The stories in this collection deal with loss, separation, unrequited or unspoken love, divorce or death of those we care about - painful experiences that hasten turning points in the lives of children, who often seem too young for the onslaught of new emotions that will have an indelible effect on the rest of their lives. In her sensitive, penetrating introduction, Ms. Zolotow offers insight that will enhance and deepen the stories both for the initiate who is looking back with recognition and for the younger reader.
