tometraveler 's review for:

A Thousand Beginnings and Endings by Elsie Chapman, Ellen Oh
4.0

My goodness, I cannot tell you how much I needed this book this month. It is a collection of short stories all inspired by Asian myths and legends AND each short story is written by an own voices author. I especially loved the varied settings, time periods, and fantasy/contemporary genres intermixed throughout the book. And, at the end, the author always explains the original myth/legend/story/event that the story was inspired by and why the story means so much to the author. Many of the authors also had a feminist undertone in their stories. All in all, this short story collection is BEAUTIFUL and needs to be talked about more often.
