Unexpected Weather Events von Erin Pringle
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Got this book thru LT's Early Review program for an honest review. This is a collection of short stories, where the characters are dealing with life, generally in the winter and the crap that it throws at them. Whether it is death, a cancer diagnosis, war. They all were pretty good reads, with the exception of the last one, that I really didn't connect with. I'd recommend this, if you're looking for a decent collection of stories.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.There's a heaviness to all the stories in this collection, but some of them are more forgiving than others. In some, even where the stories are dark, light leaks through at the seams. Erin Pringle wonderfully serves up these tales of families and former families, pasts, presents, futures that are bleak or hopeful. Far from a beach read, but if you get into the right frame of mind, or are prepared to be in the wrong frame of mind, it's worth the time to thread through this collection.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.This is a collection of short stories that captures the depth of emotions that accompanies deeply personal tragedies and events in people’s lives. Deaths of family members figure prominently in these haunting stories, as do the consequences of their deaths. There is a significant poignancy to the love and support of family members following a tragedy.
Thank you to LibraryThing and the publisher for this copy.

pdebolt | 3 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 19, 2024 | Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Erin Pringle is talented. She often writes in a series of vignettes, sometimes sequential, sometimes from different times or places, but always related in ways that drive the story forward.
Each scene is rich in detail, sparse with words, full of meanings, meanings which the reader, me at least, may grasp immediately, or later, or maybe not completely even at the end. But that’s good. Stories, like poems, can make us feel or help us understand, and sometimes both.
Some of these eight stories are told by children, which makes them raw, maybe not easy to read but worth the reading. Others are about adults remembering both childhood and later years. They were easier for me to read. This is not the sort of book I’d want to read before bed. Each story is about some sort of tragedy, as the description and quotes about the book warn, but there is some joy in every one.… (mehr)
