A review by bunceyyy
Daddy, by Emma Cline
4.0
Thank you to Vintage & NetGalley for an advance e-copy of this title.
My god, do I love Emma Cline’s writing. I’m not sure I can even articulate why, but these short stories completely captivated me and left me wanting more. There’s a cast of interesting (and often supremely unlikeable) characters, found in a variety of situations that stretch from the mundane to the extraordinary. Each story is unravelled slowly and tantalisingly, which makes it hard to put the book down once you have started one! I’m not normally a fan of short stories but I loved these - although I do hope that Cline might develop one or two of the ideas into a novel.
