I can't wait to read more. There is only one copy in our entire library system and it's checked out, but hopefully I'll get it soon. It's great to discover new authors - thanks, again.<br /><br />Book Psmith - Lasdun is a new author to me, too. Can't wait to read more from this collection.

I was stunned with the power of these few words-"It's beginnng to hurt..." And the end is so effective.

Isn't Lasdun's writing exquisite ... he doesn't have one extra word, they're all carefully chosen.<br /><br />The collection is really fantastic. My favorite story is "The Woman at the Window" which gives the perspective of both the man and woman in the story.<br /><br />Thanks for linking to my review!Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.com
