Despite some rather eloquent prose, particularly in "The Bell in the Fog", this collection was lacking in concept, structure, and plot. It may appeal to you if Pride and Prejudice tickled your fancy, as there is plenty of gossip, posing, aristocratic self-pity, and American cultural insecurity. The only two stories that caught my attention were "The Greatest Good of the Greatest Number", which is suspenseful and thought-provoking, and "Death and the Woman", for its tension and sentiment.
