Reception
A 1984 book review by Kirkus Reviews of two short story collections by Hill, concluded; "Like Hill's other stories, these are tales of thwarted passions and odd couples—with the mixture of pathos and charm at its best in the title story."[1] The book has been described as "a vivid picture of the loneliness of old age".[2]
