A review by wtb_michael
Battleborn by Claire Vaye Watkins
4.0
4.5 if I had the option.
A stunning collection of brutal, heart-breaking, inspiring and powerful stories. Set in and around Reno, Nevada, Watkins has put together a series of stunning vignettes of relationships or people teetering on the brink of collapse. The setting is critical to the atmosphere of these tense and sometimes tragic stories and Watkins is brilliant at evoking the cruelty of the desert both literally (in stories about people stranded in various ways) and lurking beneath the civilisation of the towns and cities of the region.
