Till September Petronella

'I knew he was imagining a really lovely girl — all curves, curls, heart and hidden claws'

In stories that span the course of a lifetime — from childhood in the Caribbean to adolescent modelling in Paris; and from lonely adulthood to old age and beyond — here are women adrift, at sea, down but not quite out.

Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.
