A review by kristinana
A New Race of Men from Heaven by Chaitali Sen

5.0

I got this book because I read the final story in the collection, the title story, when it was published in Shenandoah, and thought it was one of the best short stories I've ever read. This is a really strong collection. Although the title story is still my favorite, I also particularly liked "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer," "Uma, and "A Century Ends." The author has a wonderful way of entering the characters' perspectives and worlds so fully.
