And Both Shall Row: A Novella and Stories

by Beth Lordan

A New York Times Notable Book.

And Both Shall A Novella and Stories brings to life the people of Clayborne, a small town where tornado-driven cows and family excursions gain epic stature and matters of the heart are paramount.

And Both Shall Row , the novella that lends its title to this collection, is the poignant story of two sisters growing old together who finally face a lifetime of betrayals in the last moments of one sister's life.

Beth Lordan imbues her characters with dignity and hounds them with doubts, forming tender, subtle stories about loss, regret, and unabated love.

[Nancy · Rating 4 out of 5]

There is something about this author's lyrical style that really is attractive and somewhat soothing. Uneven as it is (some of the short stories are much better than others), it makes a lovely read-before-you-go-to- bed sort of book.
