5.0 out of 5 stars
This wonderful book is a brilliantly faceted jewel...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lone Pilgrim: Stories (Perennial Fiction Library) (Paperback)
I do not know why I waited so long to read Laurie Colwin's fiction. This was wonderful! You will see brilliant flashes of observation and insight, humor, and wisdom-- along with characters that are a lot like the most interesting people you know, crossing each other's paths for good and ill. It is difficult to write short stories that are this concentrated and perfect. If you're a Danielle Steel groupie, this is not for you-- Laurie Colwin was intelligent, subtle, and brilliant.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A cozy, warm read that challenges one's views of domesticity,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lone Pilgrim: Stories (Perennial Fiction Library) (Paperback)
This selection of short stories provides a cozy, warm read. These are perfect for reading in the middle of winter, under a blanket, while drinking a great cup of tea. Colwin's stories revolve around love and domesticity, but they also focus on tensions within that realm. A good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Sweet without being saccharine,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lone Pilgrim: Stories (Perennial Fiction Library) (Paperback)
If you are looking for emptinees, nihilism and the essential alone-ness of the human spirit, don't look here. If you want glamour, fabulous wealth and the secret lives of supermodels, go find Jackie Collins. Laurie Colwin's characters are peope you might actually know. This is short fiction without the despair - sweet and quirky without resorting to Women's Magazine Happy Ending Cliches. Great reading for a rainy afternoon
