Wednesday's Child is a collection of short stories spanning fifteen years of writing, and opens with the title story: Wednesday's Child.

There are eleven short stories, so I'm not going to break them down and review them individually. I really enjoyed Li's writing style, and each story have a focus on a unique individual. Li's personal history made 'Wednesday's Child' and 'When We Were Happy...' more like character studies and a look into Li's thoughts and feelings. 

The collection has an overtone of sadness and melancholia (and not the Taylor Swift kind) with a focus on loss, including that of a child but does have stories with happy-ish undertones. 

As a lover of spreadsheets 'When We Were Happy...' made me look at them very differently.

Side note: the cover! The cover is stunning it's just as visually attractive as the cover for 'The Book of Goose'. 

Thank you to Netgalley, 4th Estate and William Collins, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
