Fishing the Sloe-Black River by Colum McCann

5.0

I absolutely adored this book. McCann's writing was delicious to read, perfectly crafted with not a single word out of place or without purpose. Short story collections tend to be hit and miss, but I cannot think of a single story that I didn't love. My particular favourites were The Sisters, A Basket Full of Wallpaper, Through the Field, A Word in Edgewise, and, possibly my favourite, Cathal's Lake. Please read this book. Thank you, Andrea for introducing me to Colum McCann.
