A review by edgwareviabank
A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin

Did not finish book.

Brilliantly written as the stories I read were, I found the pace too slow and the pieces too long. Lots of wading into everyday drudgery, which seems to be precisely the point, but perhaps I could only take in small doses at the time: one day, I closed the book and simply never returned to it, even though I kept meaning to. I'm still holding out hope that, one day, I'll pick it up again and give it the second chance it probably deserves.
