Summary: Wonderful stories!
Review: OK. I'm an Ellen Gilchrist fan, so there's some bias here, but no, I do not think the judges wrong to give this book laurels. One story, "Rhoda, A Fable" I've seen in other anthologies.

I think there's some risk in collections of short stories. Some may hit you. They're fabulous. Then they are over. Sigh. Others may not hit you. Sigh. However in this collection there are many more fine stories than average ones.

Summary: Emotionally Invigorating
Review: This book was very exciting. It made me feel happy,and sad all at the same time. Gilchrist played on every emotion throughout the entire book. With each introduction of a character, she showed the humorous and serious side of them. The women had serious issue with men that they cleverly sought revenge on.This made the book very clever and surpriseing. I had no idea what Crystal was going to do next. I really enjoyed reading this book to find out what was going to happen next.
