An Enthralling Collection!
•
I'm on a roll with story collections lately. I was eager to read this collection and it didnt disappoint. This is a follow up to her A Manual For Cleaning Women, that I still need to read.
•
Published posthumously this is a collection of 22 of Berlin's stories. She is hailed as a short story master and I tend to agree with that statement.
The stories in this collection are a bit autobiographical. While reading this I became interested in reading more about her life.
•
Through hardships her voice remains strong and humorous and real. In these stories there are characters that are real and relatable. Struggling with marriage and motherhood and the ups and downs of life in a moving and identifiable way. She is a wonderful storyteller. Its too bad she couldn't have got more recognition for her talent while she was alive.

Thank You to the Publisher for #gifting me this book.
