There Is No Long Distance Now: Very Short Stories
by Naomi Shihab Nye
I won this book from Goodreads Giveaway as a proof.
The thing about this book is, it's not bad if you like short stories. In fact it reminded me a great deal of the movie Paris, Je T'Aime. Which was a fabulous movie. But as a book...
I think the problem for me was that because all these vignettes were self contained there was really nothing to propel me forward. I would read one or two and then go weeks or even months without picking it back up. This is evidenced by how very long it took me to finish this.
If clips and snippets of stories are your cup of tea you will love this with an undying passion.
If not, skip it.
