Poignant writing touching on a range of issues economically (that is, within a relatively short number of pages). This is a short story collection tied together thematically and disguised as a novel—something I increasingly love. Involuntary childlessness is addressed here more than once. A short book, but laden with sensitive treatment of complex subjects.
