Encounters

Longing, revenge, fear, hope and, of course, love - Barbara Erskine's characters experience the full spectrum of emotions in this delightful collection of stories. 
Barbara Erskine is a born storyteller. Encounters brings together for the first time over forty tales to illustrate her extraordinary talent for capturing the spirit of a place and drawing us into the hearts and minds of her characters. Some are humorous, some thrilling, while others are unashamedly sentimental. Old fashioned love stories such as A Face in the Crowd follow ingenious ghost stories and in A Step Out of Time the past and present come together, drawing back the curtain that separates us from our ancestors. 
No one who has enjoved Barbara Erskine's bestselling novels - Lady of Hay, Kingdom of Shadows, Child of the Phoenix and Midnight is a Lonely Place - will be able to resist this captivating volume.
