The Colonel's Wife (A Vintage Short)

0/5 ( ratings)

A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection

The colonel had served in two wars with the Marines, without being injured. Then, at home, he breaks both legs falling off a horse, and learns that his knees will never fully recover. Together with his wife, he will have to relearn everything, all over again.

From Andre Dubus’s masterful and compassionate collection Dancing After Hours, a New York Times Notable Book.
