…technically I finished this before midnight, but it was already the first shabbos of 2022 so we’re calling it book 1 of a new year.
Anyway, this was a gorgeous story collection. As with any collection, there were stories I loved more, but none of them missed the mark for me, which was pretty impressive.
My absolute favorite was Maria Dahvana Headley’s, which I finished and then had to walk away and stop to process it. I love her sense of how to retell a story (why haven’t I gotten around to her Beowulf yet??) It was brilliant.
But the whole collection was precisely what I wanted.
Definitely the way I wanted to begin the year.
