About love and the emptiness from its absence; suburban loneliness; lies and fantasies that could've been truths and reality but we'd never know, neither would the characters. Heartbreaking in essence, primarily because of the naked storytelling and the undefined misery of the characters. Docked a star because of some repetitiveness of setting and plot. A wonderful read.

"Linked stories ... of a young New England woman whose life must begin afresh after divorce. Traveling the roads of Maine and the train tracks of Grand Central Station, moving from vast shorelines to unmade beds of strangers, these fourteen stories circle the dreams of a narrator who finds herself turning to storytelling as a means of working through the world and of understanding herself"--Page 4 of cover.

The second half of the collection were a few stories that were connected in that the narrator was the same. While there were many scenes and encounters that were unexplained, having the same narrator gave the stories a feeling of progress and I enjoyed them a lot more, even if the protagonist was aimless and had trouble connecting with other people. Despite my reservations about this collection, Majka is a promising writer and I will certainly pay attention to anything she writes. ( )
