Going Into a Dark HouseA collection of short stories. Sister Luke and Sister Reparatrice, out in the convent's Morris Traveller, have a bizarre adventure; Klaus, who is a stranger to passion, becomes emotional over the delicious food served at a special lunch; a remote Quaker meeting house provides a place of peace for the spirits of a troubled family. In the title story, Going into a dark house, nothing is what it seems, what appears sweet is bitingly hot, and all the reader's preconceptions are turned on their heads."--Publisher description. |
