Helpful Score: 1
One of my favorite authors. This is a nice collection of short stories.
I'd never read Ellen Gilchrist before this book but am an instant fan. It's hard enough to write a fictional novel but I think considerably more difficult to write a short story that both grips the reader and provides enough story to keep it moving along without it being too long. Gilchrist accomplishes both beautifully. I will definitely be reading more of her works.
