Reviews

[Elisabeth Marksteiner · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection of short stories includes some familiar friends, as well as some new ones. Alas, the Ski the Hellers was the shortest as I would have loved more of that premise. I’ve always loved the vignette idea that is a different art form. Great fun read.
