One heartbreaking and beautiful story (about Alzheimer's Disease) is the slim volume (about 70-odd pages), titled "
Away From Her." (This was also made into a film, which I have not seen.)
The story above is apparently in the collection published by Everyman's Library, and is titled "
Carried Away- A Selection of Stories," but I don't own that volume in any form. I don't know if it's available as an ebook or not.
Another volume, "
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories," is a wonderful collection of short stories.
Really, all her books that I've read are beautiful gems of literary fiction.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of her short story collections.
They're currently expensive, however, and are in the price range pushing $10.00 - but worth it if you enjoy the best of contempory, literary fiction.
