''Has all the hallmarks of a great writer: sympathy, wit, and an amazing ear for dialogue'' - Harper''s Bazaar
_______________

The Finest Wife is a single short story in the Family Snapshots series, taken from Elizabeth Gilbert''s stunning collection of short stories, Pilgrims.

Each story in this series offers a poignant glimpse of family life – the ties we cling to; the ties we try to sever; and the ties that make us who we are. Told from a myriad of perspectives, from a dazzling array of some of the finest short story writers of our generation (including Jhumpa Lahiri, George Saunders, Jon McGregor and Elizabeth Gilbert), Family Snapshots gives us a fresh, empathetic and moving insight into the meaning of family.
