Bad Dreams and Other Stories
By Tessa Hadley
240 pages;
Harper
A teenage girl surrenders her virginity to a laconic boy. Estranged sisters tap a fresh and bitter enmity. These consummately crafted tales reveal Hadley's unflinching audacity and her peerless gift for revealing ourselves as we are, not as we wish to be.
