I usually don't get much out of short story collections, but this one also functions as a complete novel, so if you feel similarly, this collection might still do it for you.
Not for the faint of heart, as you may already know if you've heard anything about this book at all. I don't blame anyone who can't finish the book, especially as there is nary a sympathetic character to be found, and this can make the whole thing feel pointless. I still got enough out of it to keep going though, Mrs. Clark's stories about her daughter give the book sort of a lifeline, and one story in particular struck me as ending on kind of a positive note ("Exodus"), the only one of its kind.
