The Shell Collector: Stories by Anthony Doerr

seawarrior's review against another edition

3.0

This collection wasn't exactly what I had hoped, the characters are often simplistic, with only a few traits to distinguish them and the ways they interpret the world. However, Doerr has an abundant skill for describing the natural world and for using these descriptions to set tone.
