This was a book of short stories set in various parts of Kentucky. Most seem to over-emphasize the accent,but maybe it simply hits a nerve. Living in Kentucky myself the characters seem overdone. Short stories in general are not a favorite of mine. They are usually a study in character of characters and usually the characters in a collection share certain characteristics. I always feel let down by the story because the events don't take the natural flow other fictional stories take. Meaning the plot leaves events hanging for example the story "Third Monday" is about a woman who is diagnosed with breast cancer,does not tell the man she is seeing. The story ends with no explanations, no insight for the characters and their story.
