This book was a huge disappointment. After reading her best seller I thought this book would be better.
The Secrets of a Fire King July 21, 2007 memaw (Oklahoma) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I loved Kim Edwards novel, "Memory Makers Daughter" so I decided to try a book of her short stories. I am not as impressed by this book of short stories as I was the novel that she wrote.
An amazing first effort May 12, 1997 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Kim Edwards is a highly gifted writer with a wonderful grasp of both character and language. While many of her locales are exotic, the characters are very recognizable in their humanity. Some stories made me cry, and others made me want to shake some sense into the characters. This book is an amazing first effort, and I look forward to Ms. Edwards' future works
Fabulous Story Collection April 26, 1997 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is full of a sincere magic and an earthly clarity. The characters' lives are extraordinary and compassionataly rendered -- I have been touched and moved by all their stories. If you love short story collections definitely read this book
