...begins with a story set in the sort of mythical small town of
plenty that Krasikov's characters might dream of...Here Groff peers
behind the white picket fence to reveal a nastier underside; other
stories take in World War II, and transpose the tale of Heloise And
Abelard to New York in 1918.

Groff's first collection of stories, Delicate Edible Birds,
demonstrates the often surprising ways that quality can bear fruit.
Bringing together nine stories, it moves almost effortlessly
through different locales, from Templeton to Argentina, post-first
world war New York to contemporary America ... in her strongest
writing, Groff echoes the magic of her gothic forebears
*Financial Times*
Delicate Edible Birds is wonderfully imaginative, subtle and
precise, brimming over with brave and fascinating women... A
dazzling collection to make all those readers who are wary of short
stories think again.
