pbaranowski 's review for:

A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
3.0

A poignant story and a quick read. Nicely told, but I found I didn't get particularly attached to the characters. My heart wrenched for Tassie when they took Emmie away, and I was saddened by the loss of her brother, but I wasn't so close to the characters that I wept for their pain. (Unusual for me - I cry at damn near anything.)
