Kegan Paul (Verlag)
978-0-7103-0533-6 (ISBN)
First published in 1996. Written by acclaimed contemporary writers, all winners of literary awards, these stories present deeply moving human dramas. What emerges from them is a picture of a somewhat sad people - sad because they have gone through sorrowful experiences of one kind or another. But they are people who transform their sufferings into blessings through their warm humanity, whether it be a soldier, a domestic servant or an office worker.
Agnita Tennant, nee Hong, was born in Korea and educated at Chong-ju Girls' High School and Yonsei University. She married an Englishman, Roger Tennant, and has lived in Leicestershire since 1964.
