A review by tregina
Commonplace by Andrew Motion, Christina Rossetti

2.0

What are going to stay with me from this collection of short pieces are a few astute observations, some nice turns of phrase, and the emotional impact of "Vanna's Twins". Otherwise, the construction of the stories themselves felt quite weak, and it was too overtly religious for my taste. It turns out I am a much bigger fan of Christina Rossetti's poetry than her prose.
