Elaine Margolis

If you love short stories, you need to add Elaine Margolis' collection, Something Hidden, to your to-be-read list. In fact, get it right away! This collection of 13 short stories truly offers something for every reader.

Ms. Margolis demonstrates an extremely keen eye for details, wonderful and well drawn characters, and amazingly inventive story lines. Stories range from the haunting " Two for One", the nearly heartbreaking story of a great love, unshared until it is too late. My personal favorite is "The Charm", a story that mixes generations, feelings and a special something in a way both eerie and memorable. My second favorite, "The Dragon Box" takes an elderly woman, recently widowed and traveling to find herself, to an obscure little shop in Bangkok, where something speaks to her heart.

The stories in the collection encompass people of all ages, a wide variety of emotions and types of people. They are eclectic, and each offers something totally unexpected, sometimes haunting, sometimes heartbreaking, but always riveting and sincere. I plan to add Elaine Margolis to my list of favorite authors. After you read this stunning collection of stories, you will too!… (mehr)
