Animal Spirit: Stories by Francesca Marciano

3.0

This was a solid collection of stories, filled with relatable characters facing relatable dilemmas. I enjoyed the international settings, the author's descriptive powers and the compelling nature of the conflict each character is working through. In places, these stories felt a little unfinished and the prose a little unpolished so it wasn't my favourite book from Marciano. I'd still recommend it for those who like realistic short stories without the kind of magical realism that is prevalent in so many short story collections today.
