These stories are mostly about young women in their mid-20s to early 30s adrift in their current relationships or stuck in the past and unable to move forward. For that reason, my initial feeling about the stories was - not for me.
However, Moment's Later was such a striking story that I went back and read everything again, this time, really enjoying the language and the subtleties of the stories, especially the linked stories about the three siblings in a highly dysfunctional family.
The stories do capture a very particular time in a person's life - and there is a sameness to the collection but Doyle does write extraordinarily well about uncertainty and blindspots.
I'm, glad I gave these a second chance and am curious about what Doyle will do next.
I appreciate Library Thing sending me a copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.
