The first story is like a litmus test for the rest of the book. You’ll either like it or you won’t. That’s what helped me like this collection of stories a lot.

"The first story is like a litmus test. You’ll either like it or you won’t. It’s also like a Fabergé egg and also like falling into a fibonacci spiral. Kelly Link shows all y’all the things she made, some secrets more than others, so just watch.
Like another reviewer here noted, and mimicked, some of it’s just off the wall. But unlike other writers who do this, Link writes with heart woven into the fabric" — Aug 07, 2026 02:24PM

“Late in May as the light lengthens
toward summer the young goldfinches
flutter down through the day for the first time
to find themselves among fallen petals
cradling their day’s colors in the day’s shadows
of the garden beside the old house”

“It is through the collaboration of all these factors, of course, that patriarchy is enforced: an elegant machinery whose pistons fire silently inside their own minds, and whose gleaming gears we mistake for our own jewelry.”

“Another To Echo”
How beautiful you must be
to have been able to lead me
this far with only
the sound of your going away
heard once at a time and then
remembered in silence
when the time was gone
you whom I have never seen
o forever invisible one
whom I have never mistaken
for another voice
nor hesitated to follow
beyond precept and prudence
over seas and deserts
you incomparable one
for whom the waters fall
and the winds search
and the words were made
