Wonderful Collection

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Rich glimpses into lives at points of deep emotions fill these pages. The ability to bring these sentiments to life was amazing. There were detailed settings, developed characters, and important ideas to consider.

The author has a gift to create the perfect atmosphere for each story. There is a wonderful range from moody to intense. Dancing Shoes was my favorite, but there wasn’t a weak one in the bunch. Grace was intense to read. So impressive.

I love the mix of real emotion with the fictional. The narration is stunning. I would love to read more from Suzanne Strong.

In this collection of short stories, Suzanne Strong brings you moving stories in various settings- from adoring fans in a stadium to an overdose ending in a hospital room, awkward lessons in a dance studio, donations from a dead boy in the hospital, a visit to see a dying man in the hospital, the scent of a dead woman’s perfume.

Suzanne Strong spins tales of different lives, with the exception of one story that’s based on a true story, "the real life story of Ahmed who lost his life in Israel/Jenin in 2005…”

My favorite story in this collection is "Grace" which is based on a true story. Although it is a familiar story of love and forgiveness, but it remains a timeless message that's worth repeating. While the stories are short, they're no less impactful and many of them left a poignant impression upon me. A short read which will leave you with lots to ponder about life.

An insightful look into the human condition

5 beautifully written stories. The characters behaviors and inner thoughts are well described in a realistic yet poetic style. One character struggles with unmet childhood needs and drug dependency; another a father who loses his son in the Palestine-Israeli conflict. An insightful look into humanity.

These stories are well written and very thoughtful. Though they are fictional, they address real-life emotions and circumstances in a way as to make the characters come to life. I heartily recommend this collection to you!

Very enjoyable reading!
These stories will linger in your mind with its inconclusive endings, which evoke our empathy and understandings. While in each situation the main characters are unique, there are common aches and pains dealing with those situations which resemble our lives.
