The Quiet Time
In the same vein as Paul Theroux and Robert Olen Butler, some of these stories take place in foreign countries―Zaire (Congo) and Greece―and center on interactions between a host nation and an American visitor. Others are set in the US in the modes of Alice Munro and Tobias Wolff, focusing on human relationships.
Each story reveals a main character’s moral center in the face of unexpected events, some of which seem trivial, others vital.

The author's compassion shines through in these intense stories of heartbreak and hope. I like how the author explores the great divides of not just countries but the people with whom we are close.
