I found an old paperback copy of this collection in the basement of my condo building. My fellow tenants put books down there that they are finished with and no longer want to keep. I read this a long time ago. I couldn't remember any of the stories except The Cinderella Waltz which I enjoyed reading again. Details the not uncommon phenomenon of a repressed gay man leaving his wife and daughter for another man.

I put this collection of short stories (bought at a second-hand store somewhere upstate) down for a few years and then picked it up again. I know I had read it many years before, but hardly remember most of the stories. I recalled The Cinderella Waltz and its subtle portrayal of a divorced woman still in love with her gay ex-husband and her relationship with their daughter and the husband's new lover.
