pickA great collection of stories. I really didn't appreciate it when I first started to read it about 5 years ago, but it has turned out to be one of those really comforting books I could sink into like a worn couch after coming in from the rain.
Next read. I read a few stories from this collection a few years ago, but I never finished, so I'm starting over to read them all.

This is a short story collection. I have not read all the stories, but from what I have read, it is pretty OK. I was expecting more because there are pages and pages of praise for this writer.

“To Rennie‘s acute eye Ophelia became in succession everything she was and had ever been, in reverse order: a colourful grandmother, a woman who had known a long and happy marriage, a girl in love for the first time”
I came across a Little Free Library in Chestnut Hill, MA today (my first one!) and took this. I had a copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray in my car that I left in exchange. That thing had some really good books in it!
pickLovely lovely slow stories with really interesting characters (reminded me of Alice Munro, if you like that sort of thing). By far my favorites were the ending one, Honeydew (about this strange girl with an eating disorder and all the lives around her), Her Cousin Jamie (which just has this perfect saucy ending), and Wait and See (where a boy is born with a condition where he can see colors the normal eye can't see).
#somethingforsept I haven't read this collection of short stories yet but the cover is so inviting.
As usual when I read a great book of short stories, I'm left wondering why I don't read them more often
so-so3.75 /5 stars: Edith Pearlman has a gift for weaving a short story. Beautifully written- this collection of stories was enjoyable to read.
This book has been on my shelf for a while now. It's one of the picks for my book club to read this year. Decided to go ahead and dive into it after hearing Rebecca on the podcast All the Books! rave about it a few weeks ago.
"He dotes on his mistress too, buying her an enamel cockatoo and a bracelet of gold panels connected by diamonds - and, today, right now, a bouquet of amethysts for her lapel."
pickThis book is super thought provoking. Edith Pearlman in one whip smart lady with very intriguing perspective.
