This was our September challenge book and it was so nice to be reading short stories again after slogging through the Musil in August.
These are not happy times stories. Someone in every story is lost (physically, mentally or emotionally), or lonely, or angry, or … or they’ve come to the end of what they can handle or find their way around.
For some characters, their searching leaves them in a better place than where they began, but never the perfect place. But for some, the story’s end is further down a road they never should have been on in the first place.
Really engaging. Unexpected. True and original. Unlike stories you’ve read before. In a very gritty down to earth way.
