A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories by Lucia Berlin

5.0

Berlin’s writing is truly legendary and filled with so much depth and melancholy. A rare 5 star! Some dated language here and there, but also not a deal breaker. This is some of the most beautiful language I have *ever* read. And the structure and order of the collection begins to make sense around 1/3 of the way thru - don’t give up!
