Product Description
An elegant and richly evocative collection about the nature of paradise and the complexities of desire.

These eight magical stories are about the Edenic spaces that people create in their lives and the serpents that subtly inhabit them; in each case a form of revelation accompanies the threat of expulsion from the earthly paradise. In "Rug Weaver" (selected for Best American Short Stories 2001), an Iranian rug dealer makes a paradise of his prison cell by weaving an elaborate rug in his mind. Grieving parents in the title story transfigure an exotic luxury subdivision in southern California into a vision of heaven. In "Interpreters" a couple working in a re-created colonial village find that the roles they play are more seductively real than their lives outside.

For all these men and women, the apple is only the beginning. And in every story there is a tension between inner and outer worlds as the characters leave a place that grows greener, lusher, and more perfect as they look back. ... Read more

A Glorious Collection
This is an exquisite collection of stories. Barbara Klein Moss is a master storyteller whose prose is glorious - poetic, intelligent, wry and rich in metaphor.
The characters are inventive, the observations are astute, and every story is complex, sophisticated and skillfully crafted. The novella alone is worth the price of this book. ... Read more

PINK BLOOMERS .THE OVER HOT WASHING MACHINE .
One has to marvel at the prolific writing skills of dear Barbara . I once owned a horse that refused to eat its oats , but would gnaw cheerfully ,on a Barbara Cartland book ,then tap dance for hours ,with a rose between its teeth .The sheer romance of her work enthralls , even those of us with four feet .In this delightful book we are transported to the world of Dukes and there Coconut carvings . The Duke who married a fire engine ,never laugh at a bowl of stewed prunes , and a touch of an unemployed town crier . All three are little pebbles in the hillwalkers boot . OHI do wish Henry would stop pestering the gardeners daughter .

Collectingbed sores and enriching the vet .
For all you cynics who belive that romance is dead , perhaps it was not your partner . After all you had been working hard that week , and even if it was , how can you be so sure ,that checking into a motel as mr and mrs smith for two hours , was in any way suspicious . Dear old Barbara would put your mind at rest.and in these perfumed pages ,our old hearts are set to flutter as love blossoms . First its a good old fashioned tale of passion and hatred , between Lord Cockbury the seventh earl of undergarb ,and his fiery half gypsy half aubergine dentist . The tale ends as you would expect from such romantic fiction ,with the two lovers .fighting a naked duel on the Westminster bridge at midnight ,with only a few out of date tomatoes dying in the snow along with the lovers . Sob sobI can not continue its all too heart renching . My only complaint with these stories ,is that far too often the villain of the piece ,turns out to be wearing thermal underwear ,all the better for hiding tropical fish I suppose .

Three complete novels of Barbara Cartland
It was cute as usally.Typical of a Barbara Cartland book.If you read Barbara Cartland book before you will realised that she is an author that stresses love will conquer all philosophy.Unfortunately, she tends towrite very little and tends to be brief to the point.These stories arevery consise and moving for your emotions.You will not put it down untilyou are done.But by the time you are done reading it you will likely saythat is it.Where is the rest of it.These stories are great but most ofthe time it leaves the reader wanting to read more about it even though itis the ending.These stories are way to short but they always gurantee youa happy and charming ending. ...

The stories were good, but short.
Too short, in my opinion. The book was a Reader's Digest Condensed version. I did not know this, or I would not have bought the book. I went in search of the original versions, and would advise anyone else to do the same. I love Madeleine Brent--I just want ALL of any story I read:)

Definitely a treasure!
If you are a fan of the Gothic genre, you will find the title of this collection very apropos indeed. Loved every minute... Highly recommended!

This book is amazing!
I could read this book over and over and never get sick of it!I read the first story (Moonrakers Bride) and thought that none of the others could even match it because it was so interesting.But the stories just got better as the book went along.This is definitely a classic and any fan of gothic novels needs to check it out!
