Book summary

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.

The plot

A woman changed by a desert island. In New York, Anna Janssen is on trial for a murder committed ten years ago. Strong and tanned, she no longer looks like the dancer she once was.

The world of the book

Thirteen stories, from Ireland to the Andes. After twelve years in America, a man returns to the farm where he grew up, by the sea.
