The Hollow Land by Jane Gardam

3.0

I'd not read anything by Jane Gardam before The Hollow Land and this short book of hers from 1981 was a nice introduction via linked stories about a couple of families in some part of rural England. I'm still not sure where it was set. I like the writing--very direct and seemingly simple. In my opinion, simple is harder to pull-off than going full-tilt flowery. Only thing I wish this had more of was an arc but those aren't really in these kinds of linked, vignette styled books.
