This is a very enjoyable work. The tales have all the ambience of a tale being told spontaneously but certainly are actually quite sophisticated. The title story seems to arise very naturally in a conversation of a group of women. But I noticed that in fact it illustrates Frank O’Connor’s dictum that a short story should have a “glowing centre of action” that equally looks to the past, present and future.
I think it’s a wonderful story!
