From the author of the beloved novel The Giant's House - finalist for the National Book Award - comes a beautiful new story collection, her first in twenty years. Laced through with humour, empathy, and rare and magical descriptive powers these nine vibrant stories navigate the fragile space between love and loneliness. In 'Property', a young scholar, grieving the sudden death of his wife, decides to refurbish the Maine rental house they were to share together by removing his landlord's possessions. In 'Peter Elroy: A Documentary by Ian Casey', the household of a successful filmmaker is visited years later by his famous first subject, whose trust he betrayed. And in the unforgettable title story, a family makes a quixotic decision to flee to Paris for a summer, only to find their lives altered in an unimaginable way by their teenage daughter's risky behaviour. In Elizabeth McCracken's universe, heartache is always interwoven with strange, charmed moments of joy - an unexpected conversation with small children, the gift of a parrot with a bad French accent - that remind us of the wonder and mystery of being alive. Thunderstruck & Other Stories shows this inimitable writer working at the full height of her powers.

With just the right flourish of his pen, author James Street takes his readers for a walk in the footsteps of the men and women who populated the small towns and piney woods of his beloved home state, Mississippi. Street turns his singular experiences into moving and thought provoking universal truths — seeing beyond tarnished exteriors to the treasures within, the enduring legacy of selflessness, the making of champions, and the capacity of all, no matter what age, no matter how humble, to find and lose love. Each story is introduced by a note from the author — gems of thought and background information that further enhance the timeless contents of this collection. These short stories were originally published in such magazines as Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, and The American Magazine. This collection includes the original short stories, The Biscuit Eater and Weep No More My Lady which were later expanded into two of Mr. Street's most famous and well-loved books. Included: • The Golden Key • In Full Glory Reflected • The Old Gordon Place • Weep No More, My Lady • Please Come Home, My Lady • Buck and Fo' Bits • The Crusaders • Pud'n and Tayme • They Know How • The Road To Gettysburg • All Out With Sherman • Set the Wild Echoes Flying • The Biscuit Eater • The House
