   None No current Talk conversations about this book. This book was entirely short stories and all involved travel of some sort. Most of the characters seemed happier on the surface than the actually were. With the exception of the first story, they felt little pretty complete stories despite their length. I'd have liked the first story to be longer because I honestly had no idea what happened at the end.

(  ) ElizabethCromb | Dec 28, 2016 | Read for a challenge (Irish author"). Sweet short stories, ranging from horehound (intense) to fudge (rich) to cotton candy (fluff), so to speak. The best ones were the ones that had a little bit of the bitter, or the not-quite-happy ending."
