Taking Pictures by Anne Enright

essjay1's review against another edition

4.0

Anne Enright can seem harsh because she writes without any sentimentality, a characteristic I like about her fiction. This is short stories - even better, I always love the shorter format, it really forces and author to their point.

I think if I'd taken a break between reading each story, I would be able to appreciate each individual story better. However, I plowed through it on a holiday and the repeated bleakness, often revolving around unsatisfied women, began to get tiring - but every so often there was a more uplifting story that made the read worthwhile.
