THREE DECADES OF STORIES is a unique collection of Patrick Gale’s two volumes of dark, moving, often witty and eccentric stories, GENTLEMAN’S RELISH and DANGEROUS PLEASURES. It also includes the acclaimed long story, CAESAR’S WIFE.

Ranging from a lonely prisoner governor’s wife, to a housewife desperate for a makeover; a father’s trip to his former school to a long-term mistress offered an unexpected marriage, this is a volume that highlights Patrick Gale’s skill of digging beneath the surface of relationships and exposing the often brutal mechanisms that drive them.
