First published in 1933, this outstanding collection is made up of two short novels,A Day Off andThe Single Heart, and three long stories which show the variety of the author's great writing skills that make her one of the most distinguished of women writers. InA Day Off, Jameson tells of a day in the life of a middle-aged woman. A lonely woman, snatching at any relationship she can make. It is a story of great perception and understanding but tinged with bitterness and the inevitable sadness of isolation. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The day is spent in contemplation of her life, from her early days in a Yorkshire factory town to her coming to London and the various turns that her life has taken. Before the day is over, she gives in to her fears and allows herself to take a further step toward the destruction of her values and spirit.
A Day Off is a sad and depressing portrait of woman who is well past her prime and down on her luck, she lives a dingy life with no brightness on the horizon. The author brilliantly captures this woman and the result is frightening and all too real. Anyone who has faced financial anxiety and the loneliness of a life alone will be moved by this story that takes place over the course of one day. ( )
