Look, Plums is the best case I've seen for not trusting your first impression of anybody. Martha Holmberg takes ten ordinary people and slowly shows you the messy, contradictory stuff under the surface, and the chapter on the "perfect" neighbor with the immaculate lawn is a quiet punch. A couple of the profiles feel like filler. Good for people who like human-nature stories. Not for anyone looking for a big, unifying thesis.

Plums are not my favorite, and this Short Stack has several recipes for meat that I will not be using. But, like all the books in the series, it is beautiful and worthwhile if you like plums! I will make the Beet Salad with Plums, Basil & Feta.
