This collection of short stories has come to represent "comfort" reads to me. Many of them feel quite autobiographical and realistic, with contemplative notes. Included are musings on (her?) parents, (her?) childhood, motherhood, and gender roles. They seem to have roots sunk deep in the reality of memory and nostalgia. There was none of the touch of surrealism I think I've detected in some of her other work, and yet also no grim reality either. I highly recommend this!
