There's not much I can say about this excellent short story anthology other than WOW. If you love historical fiction, read The Spoilt Quilt. If you love stories about strong women, read The Spoilt Quilt. If you love stories about the American West, read The Spoilt Quilt.
I think I've probably gotten my point across by now!
This book first caught my eye because one of my favorite authors, Larry D. Sweazy, has a story included. Then I saw that the introduction is written by another favorite author, Chris Enss. When I looked at the table of contents, my mouth began to water. Sandra Dallas, Charlotte Hinger, Deborah Morgan... the longer the list, the more I wanted to read this book.
I'm glad I did. There's not a weak story in the bunch, and it's impossible for me to name one favorite. Speaking of favorites, I enjoyed all my favorite authors' stories, and I was introduced to several new authors. You can't beat that, can you?
The stories range from high-action ones to stories that are introspective. The women face life-changing challenges in settings far from civilized society, and the ways they deal with their challenges are as diverse as they are. The Spoilt Quilt is a wonderful collection that I urge all of you to read.
