Erica is a young writer who can't seem to get an idea for her next book after the success of her first book. On vacation in Scotland, she discovers thirteen items on an isolated beach. The items are random and there is no connection between them. Erica writes a short story about 12 of the items and a novella about item 13 based on where the items could have come from. The items range from an empty ketchup holder to a child's bucket and a jar of pickled onions. Each item results in a highly emotional story that makes the reader want to mull over each story before they go to the next. 13 unrelated items become part of a cohesive collection of stories. I don't read a lot of short story collections but this is a book that may change my mind - I definitely recommend it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Erica Winchat, a young writer overwhelmed by the stress of her first book contract, discovers thirteen curious items tangled in the flotsam on the Scottish beach of Tràigh Lar. Erica tells the intriguing story of the owner of each of these items, uncovering a series of dramatic events--from a Chicago widow's inspiring visit to Quebec City to a shrimper's daughter facing Tropical Storm Ruby in North Carolina. The thirteenth item, a concert laminate badge, inspires Erica's novella Fan Girls, in which the separate stories of four fans of the Scottish rock band Datha unfold in first person, culminating in their reunion at a concert in Chicago--a show where a shooting takes place.
