Maile Meloy is not a first time author nor is she a stranger to awards. But this is the first I've heard of her. I hope to hear lots more of her after this.
After being named one of the top ten books of 2009 by the New York Times, I should get to know her name even if I cannot always quite remember the title of this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book of short stories. Sometimes it is nice to read just a short story without feeling committed to the book. But I found I started the next story just as soon as I finished one. They were wonderful - except maybe the final story of the book. Too bad because this left me a little disappointed....but only a little.
Don't miss this one!
