A review by mandyherbet
Astray by Emma Donoghue
3.0
Emma Donaghue has a clever way of adapting her style to different eras, voices, and situations. Every story featured in this collection has the original inspiration included alongside it and uses a different style to tell the story - some working better than others. For me, the strongest stories were "The Gift", "The Long Way Home" "Last Supper at Brown's", "What Remains" and "Daddy's Girl".
Donaghue shows herself to be a talented short-story writer and I'd definitely recommend this collection - 3 out of 5 stars simply because not all the stories worked as well IMO.
