Miss Muriel and Other Stories by Ann Petry

BEST BOOK DISCUSSIONS

Don't they start with yourself?  And those conversations or discussions are further enriched when you engage in meaningful discussion with others who bring more perspective? Reading this collection makes me feel each few stories need their own conversation, room to breathe.

ᴍɪꜱꜱ ᴍᴜʀɪᴇʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ꜱᴛᴏʀɪᴇꜱ a is collection of 13 short stories by Ann Petry.  I could have finished this collection months ago, but I purposely savored these. #SteepedInShortStories

Petry's craft as a superior storyteller is evident.  Some stories are longer than others but even so, the  stories have an impact—you think about the people, their lives and circumstances after. You see a lot in a little and that makes you think about the applicability of these stories in the time we live in right now.
