"Tibetan Time" is a gentle tale of an all day meditation at a Buddhist temple.
A surprise ending happened maybe because Ceci chose to allow compassion to replace
her anger at her husband and so she was blessed with that image...?

The title short story worn on with Janet constantly second guessing her motives throughout an ESP experiment.
The Titanic imagery may leave readers guessing who, mom or kid, gets left behind.

All the stories continue low key, slow moving and well written with divergent plots, yet I felt no connection with any of the slightly obsessive characters.

"Other Lives" = Mother doesn't ask her daughter and her best friend about their urine in a shampoo bottle because of her attraction to their kneecaps - huh?

"Everyday Disorders" and "The Bandit" offered the most intriguing plots and characters. ( )

Just wonderful. Francine Prose is a master. (Maybe having a last name like Prose helps.) ( )
