A review by spinstah
Winter's Tales by Isak Dinesen

2.0

I just couldn't get into this collection, and I wasn't finished by the time my book club met to discuss it. That said, everyone else at the meeting seemed to enjoy it, and the discussion was good enough that I finished the little bit I had left. I still didn't really see the appeal. There are some good stories in this collection - and lots of stories within stories - but there was something about the narration that I felt kept me at arm's length from the action. There was a sort of detached philosophical bent to things, I guess, and that just doesn't appeal to me.
