A varied collection of short stories, all in a pleasant writing style. I liked some stories better than others, but overall this book was fun to read. ( )

Dunmore's carefully observed stories demonstrate her ear for language and her eye for the telling moment; at times, though, these brief works can seem not so much concise as disappointingly slight. . . [R]esonant language helps compensate for the unevenness of the stories, some of which aren't much more than vignettes.
