Love, love, love Lucy's short stories. My only complaint is that it doesn't include every one she's ever written! Excellent afterword where she says a few lines about each story and includes suggested music to listen to while reading.

Katharine is a judge for the Aurealis Awards. This review is the personal opinion of Katharine herself, and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of any judging panel, the judging coordinator or the Aurealis Awards management team.

To be safe, I won't be recording my review here until after the AA are over.

I think I should re-read this in time to come, and my review may change, but currently, though most if not all the stories within were to a high quality, they just didn't always hold my attention. I'm not even sure whether I could say whether the collection was cohesive or not.

A simple mark of what happens when one has to judge many books of collections at once, and some just pale by comparison.
