5.0 out of 5 stars
Treasure Trove of Stories,
By A reader from (Chevy Chase, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grace and Gravity: Fiction by Washington Area Women (Paperback)
Written by a mix of recognizable names and previous unpublished up-and-comers, this book is a great read! The stories are such an eclectic mix of genres written around a myriad of different themes. I really enjoyed this read, and only wish short stories collections would receive more attention from the media.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A nice mix,
By A Reader (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grace and Gravity: Fiction by Washington Area Women (Paperback)
Great variety (humor, gravitas, provocation...) and great writing. Who knew we were hoarding this much literary treasure in the D.C. area?!
