5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful first collection!
Mother Rocket, Ciresi's first collection of stories, won the Flannery O'Connor award for a reason. This collection wonderfully showcases Ciresi's dark sense of humor, sharp dialogue, and engaging characters. A quick, enjoyable read. I also enjoyed Sometimes I Dream in Italian, Ciresi's other short story collection.

1.0 out of 5 stars not good
I am a big fan of Rita Ciresi, so I went out of my way to find this one. This was her first literary work, a collection of short stories. It is just plain weird, and darkly sad. Awfully written. I can't imagine how it won the Flannery O'Connor award. Rita Ciresi's other books, especially Pink Slip and Blue Italian are so much better. I've been trying to unload this on...

I've been trying to unload this on ebay for a long time now and no one will buy it from me. Can't say I blame them.
