    • Abstract:
      In the horse-riding, fox-hunting milieu of Albemarle County, Va., the wealth and privilege of white residents heighten a sense of insularity and innocence that, as readers know and Tuck hints at, will soon be shattered. Meanwhile, she's rereading Wuthering Heights, and Tuck's measured prose contrasts its matter-of-factness with the passionate overtones of Brontë's original. The remaining stories have more contemporary settings: "The Dead Swan" finds a young woman heartbreakingly optimistic about her addict boyfriend's hopes for recovery, while "A Natural State" unfolds largely through emails.
