Book Description:

A delicious treat, MISSING THE MIDNIGHT is the new book of short stories by Jane Gardam. This volume marks a new departure for Jane Gardam - 'Missing the Midnight', 'The Virgins of Bruges' and some of the stories have Christmas themes; others are fables, many of them with a touch of surrealism. In each of the stories, Jane Gardam's imagination and humanity, her humour and powers of observation, are as sharp and satisfying as ever.
