I was really prepared for all of the stories in this book to link up and if they do I didn’t see it. Though someone in my book club did say that they did so I will be looking for that on reread.
I didn’t understand how the stories were going to connect after ch 1 and 2 didn’t but 2 and 3 connected got me back on track. I feel like the nature of short story is the possibility of some stories not being the readers thing. I only found one story were I was confused and not caring which is impressive for how many their were.
My favorite interconnected set of stories story was the cabin mystery to learning what happened through letters was so interesting and I just liked what the truth of the mystery was in general. My favorite story overall was the man with the bird and his wife. That story was truly so touching and I very well might have cried. I also definitely cried at the last story and hearing what was happening during the first story and that love story.
I feel like almost every story in this book had an undertone of lose which is interesting. I will be rereading this book and giving it more time to really dive into the depths that I’m sure went over my head the first time.
