Fen
by Daisy Johnson
3.5 stars. Short story collections are so hard to rate.
The stories in this collection take place in the fens of England. These stories are largely about people/animal connections and how close mature is to the people in the fens, with a touch of small town life as well. A girl in love with a fish; brothers who fight like animals; an albatross. These stories are unsettling and somewhat open-ended, some are creepy. They feel like folklore.
One story is written with a backward timeline (Seinfeld, anyone?), which I read start to finish and then finish to start. It was my favorite, but you will need to find it yourself--it's a little confusing on the first read.
