I absolutely loved this collection, and I'm at a loss to say why.
Most of the stories in this book are full of hopelessness, loss, heartbreak, and sadness. However there was something about the way they were written that was lyrical and compelling to read. The author has taken these dark moments and shows us the hidden joys and dreams hidden within. Ending with a gritty, realistic moment that has layers of emotion shining through to the reader. My favorite story had to be The Diggings, followed closely by Graceland, and The past Perfect, The Past Continuous, The Simple Past.
