Customer Reviews
An excellent read
Normally I don't enjoy reading short stores as they usually fall into two categories: a shallow story lacking details or a solid story rushing to go nowhere.
These stories were rich, full- bodied detailed stories that pulled me in, messed with my head and ended leaving me feeling satisfied. No "That's it?" or "when will it start?".
Her characters are fully realized, their inner lives are rich and I feel glad to have read them.
