Usually I find myself liking about 60 percent of short stories when I read a collection, but there is not a dud among this bunch. Every one is sharply written, with an eye to detail and characters that capture the reader's attention immediately. They touch on a broad range of experiences, meaning that everyone will be able to find something to relate to. A true gem!
