The Pangs of Love and Other Stories by Jane Gardam

5.0

Nobody writes short stories like Jane Gardam. She manages to imbue a handful of pages with emotional intensity and a feeling of consequence that most people need a novel to do. The way these stories are arranged is also a triumph - their order plays into their subject matter and you really get a sense of a group full of disparate people sharing a world, just like in real life. So glad I picked this up.
