Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-11 00:00:00 Nick Sanders The first published collection of short stories by one of America's best contemporary short story writers. She is a master of the form, managing to accomplish narrative dexterity, consistently authentic characters and surprising but uncannily accurate insights into human relationships. She weaves in these stories intricate webs out of the intersection between destiny, circumstance and the random acts of fate that bedevil us all. Most of her characters are women, casting about in one way or another to find a life that rationalises their innate desire to belong with the drive to forge their own identity and find some sense of self-actualisation that goes far beyond catering to the needs of others. I'm looking forward to reading her subsequent collection "Female Trouble" which extrapolates even further on this theme.
