But her daughters and granddaughter test this notion with far-reaching consequences. Kitty's arsenic reappears sixty years later in the hands of her distraught niece. A schoolgirl's passion for the Beatles and Melville--a passion both lonely and funny--shapes her life. Each decade is illuminated by endearingly eccentric characters: an anorexic waitress falls for a wealthy college boy in the jazz age...an exuberant young nurse questions science during the Depression...a homely seamstress designs a scandalous dress in the 1950s. \u003cem\u003eThe Nightingales of Troy\u003c\/em\u003e, the first fiction collection by an acclaimed American poet, creates a vividly palpable sense of time and place.
