3.0

According to goodreads I've been reading this for 8 months! Well, I'm calling it done, had to skim the whole last third. If this collection were only the first 200 pages (the section called The South) I'd be going four stars for sure. Loved those, and was taking them slow to savor them. Reminded me a bit of Ellen Gilchrist. But once the stories left the South I stopped being able to concentrate on them or care about the characters. Not sure what changed, maybe I just burnt out. (Is there an unhelpful button for reviews?)
