Apparently today I was in the mood for short stories and this just hit the spot. Both of these stories were touching and made my heart feel full. I think of the two I preferred the more famous, The Snow Goose just because it was so small and simple and kind of made me want to cry. The Small Miracle was also wonderful, but in a very different way. The character of Pepino is so different from Phillip or Frith that it's hard to compare the two, but I did love his determination and Violetta was so compelling as a character.

Minor: Death and War
Of course, the Snow Goose is about war in some ways but it's not really there - just the field for the climax of the story to play out
