Lovely, touching words. All stories deal with loss, loneliness and time, and yet they are all completely different. The use of music in plot and musical language in metaphors are particularly fantastic. Gosh.

The main story was not as fleshed out or satisfying as her other novels. However the six short stories included in this edition were exquisite.

بدون شک یکی از بهترین کتابهاییه که خوندم.
کند پیش‌‌رفتن داستان بدون اینکه خسته‌کننده باشه و البته وایبی که منتقل میکنه قابل توصیف نیست
اگه مک‌کالرز رو بشناسین متوجه میشین که سایه شخصیت خودش همه جای داستان دیده میشه
این کتاب وصف حال زندگی همه ماست.
