My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro by Jeffrey Eugenides

5.0

i have a hard time rating this book as a whole. some of the stories made me cry. others made me want to skip to the next one. some i had already encountered in another life.

i couldn't stop reading this book. i couldn't stop re-reading the stories. reading them aloud to my boyfriend. watching the look on his face to see if they resonated as strongly with him. it was beautiful. and it was heart-breaking. and it hurt. i felt so dreadful after reading some of them, like it was me this was happening to. these stories held my attention in some odd way.

i will never forget some of them. the hitchhiking game. spring in fialta. spring in fialta fixes everything.


i'm going to re-read this soon.
