Southern Woman: New and Selected Fiction Book

She is elegant, honest, real. She travels, her writing is modern, she's brilliant with twisted endings. On a few, I thought she might have been writing for The Twilight Zone.****H.James bores me to anguish, but his settings, Venice, etc. are admirable. Spencer takes those settings and gives them life and vitality, her settings and landscapes are lush. She does justice to about any subject she touches. The stories are grouped in three sections. The South, Italy, and Up North (Montreal).I'm sure it's just a matter of taste, but I really like her.
