This collection brings together thirteen stories by the Irish-American writer Donn Byrne. In the title story, a former Broadway dancer is tried in New York for a murder committed ten years earlier. The policeman who brought her back from the South Seas tells the court how a shipwreck changed her.
The other stories travel from Ireland to the Andes, from the streets of New York to the biblical times of Delilah and the Queen of Sheba: each story opens a different world.
Lively and moving, they can be read one by one, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.
