Kim Williams's Reviews > How Strange a Season

"There were, of course, the things her mother taught her without using words -- that the darkness of life had teeth and learning how to fight it was more important than leaning how to write a thank-you note or press tablecloths."

I loved this collection so much -- stories about modern women, trying to survive on their own terms and make a difference in the world. That is, until I got to the last and longest of the collection, which I had a deep dislike for, for some reason. It also didn't seem to go with the rest. I wish she'd had other stories to round out this otherwise amazing collection and this probably would have been a 5 STAR book for me!
