Sabrina & Corina: Stories by Kali Fajardo-Anstine
3.0
the sadness that pokes through the pages of these stories is eerily beautiful. sprinkles of hope and connection are prominent through these heartbreaking stories, mostly about children and women in and around denver, colorado. the stories about children, mostly young girls, have a recurring theme in a number of these stories of being left behind by their parents by death or by abandonment, or even before they have left.
while beautiful, i can't say that i enjoyed all of these stories equally. there were many times that i felt that a story ended very abruptly. i was left hanging and searching for closure --- not only for me, but for the characters as well. there were times that i was longing for a story to keep going since they felt incomplete. however, the majority of these short stories were well-written and thought provoking and overall i did enjoy this short story collection.
