mystikai's review against another edition
4.0
I have not read a short story anthology before so when this book tour came up it was the perfect opportunity to see what exactly a short story anthology was.
In The Weight of a Feather and Other Stories is lots of very short stories, some just a page long some a few pages long. I particularly enjoyed the original story The Weight of a Feather because the story was similar to what my husband experienced as a child with his chicken being dished up for dinner after school. I also liked Umbrella in the Snow although I enjoyed many of the short stories these two stood out to me. Some I just didn’t ‘get’ as they were so short.
I liked this book because it is great for short time fillers like when I was at the doctor’s surgery waiting to be seen and at the dentist. I could finish one or two stories in the time I sat waiting.
It was very well written and I would love to read more from Judy Croome.

This is a short story anthology that includes 45 stories. Each story is one to a few pages longer. Each story, to me, was very touching. There are a wide range of emotions that the author shares with the readers. I felt that some of the stories had a message behind them; but that could of just been me looking for a deeper meaning and over analyzing. They are well-written and detail. This is definitely a book I will keep close by to re-read again.
