Summary

The first American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Sinclair Lewis was revered for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to fashion, with wit and humour, innovative and inspiring characters. Masterpieces such as ‘Main Street’, ‘Babbitt’, 'Arrowsmith' and ‘Dodsworth’ are noted for their critical views of American capitalism and materialism in the interwar period, while promoting strong characterisations of modern working men and women.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
This limb of land extends into the Atlantic Ocean.  It’s fortunes and livelihood based on what its rugged landscape, it’s shores and surrounding seas could bring to its people.  Within the ranks of these locally born authors are some of our greatest talents.

    When four women leave their drab lives behind to go on holiday in Italy, their lives are changed forever by the Mediterranean. Mrs. Arbuthnot and Mrs. Wilkins, while part of the same ladies' club, have never spoken. Lady Caroline Dester and the elderly Mrs. Fisher join their holiday so as to mitigate expenses. As these women come together and learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible, they reveal their true personalities and the backdrops of their lives that tend to hinder them. Inspired by the author's own month-long trip to the Italian Riviera, this novel is noted as her most widely-read work.
