3.0

I have to be honest, when I started this book, I thought I was reading a book by a different author - Valerie Martin. However, I quickly realized that Robinson's style is very different. I don't know why I had them confused.

I found these stories very intriguing. I felt like I was seeing the tiniest slice of the character's lives. A moment, when for them, everything came together. Often this coming together was not the best place in their lives, but these moments seemed to be watersheds. The kind of places, that in our real lives we may not notice until much later. Small decisions, small acts - places where life turned.

I am going to look for more books by Robinson. I like the way she uses the English language.
