fascinating

Ms. Edward's book contains fascinating stories about outsiders in "normal" society. The stories really grab you and you won't be able to easily put the book down.

One of the best short story collections EVER

WOW

After each story I read, I was overwhelmed with emotion and awe. These stories are amazing and beautiful. Wow is all I can say. I read Kim Edwards' novel Memory Keeper's Daughter and really enjoyed it, but this book of short stories is simply phenomenal for the way it challenged my mind and stirred up emotion inside me that I can't explain. Definately read it!

Astounding

This was a fantastic collection of stories. The standout one for me was at about page 100, the story of a woman in a SE Asian country who - as a 40-year "veteran" of the ex-pat experience - deigns to share her knowledge and experience with the newcomers... until the day she learns how little she actually knows about the culture in which she uncomfortably resides. Brilliant stuff.
