I don’t normally love short story collections, but this one sounds fantastic. I’m eagerly waiting for it from the library!

I enjoy short stories and want to try reading more of them this year. Fallon’s collection are some I would definitely like to read. Not only do the themes sound important, well-developed and very interesting but the stories sound prevalent to society now when so many families are struggling with their men and women overseas supporting their country. I know I can’t begin to imagine all the issues soldiers and their families have to deal with leaving for so long but then returning and expecting life to resume as before.

Thank you for a terrific review. I’m putting this book on my TBR list.

Agreed, Meghan, great review. I really think these are masterful short stories because they’ve really stayed with me.

I would love to read this book because it seems so immediate and timely, and from what you say, it sounds wonderful. I like stories that pull at my heartstrings and haven’t read one in awhile. This one goes right on the list, and I thank you for your brilliant review.

I adored this book. I plan to write my review today and I know I’ll never be able to do the book justice.
