Letter from an Unknown Woman and Other Stories by Stefan Zweig
4.0
Wow. My uncle recommended the author to me, I'd seen the film of the first story so thought I'd try it.
Excellent short stories. And you know, they felt like novels - the detail, plots, characterisation I usually complain is absent in short stories were all present and correct. Great ideas, excellent narrations and styles (letters, looking to the past, inner thoughts), with a theme and slight connection running through. Admittedly the final one I didn't like but at 9 pages I just didn't have much to connect to.
Very worthwhile, beautifully written. Now seeking out 'Chess', another recommendation.
