The story that gives it’s name to the collection, “The Fabulous Mrs. V” was excellent as the author painted a very clear and vivid picture of a woman who was clinging to her youth and beauty at the expense of others, most particularly her daughter and her husband. A couple of other stories that stood out for me were ‘A Party for the Girls” and “The Trespasser”, both of which are amusing tales that have elderly women mixing liquor, food and seduction.
