The Third Persephone Book of Short Stories (2024) is a collection of 30 stories written by women between 1911 and 1996. I was initially attracted to it as it includes Evelyn Sharp's wonderfully witty short story 'The Cheap Holiday' and I had written her biography. The quality of the stories varies but they are a rich source for understanding, for example, the ways in which World War 11 upended their lives.
