Pulse Points: Stories by Jennifer Down
4.0
Writing brilliant, evocative & emotional short stories takes talent & I adore diving into a collection that immerses me in the lives of others.
I purchased Pulse Points after seeing recommendations. It’s the first time I’ve read Jennifer Down’s writing and it won’t be the last.
If you have a love and appreciation for short stories, you need to add this book to your list. Jennifer Down is a wonderful storyteller; the type that leaves me in awe of their talent & feeling woefully inadequate as far as my own writing goes.
These observant, thoughtful and varied stories left me wanting more.
In the Acknowledgements, Down thanks her parents for “tuning me to the frequency of other people’s lives” and I think that best captures what this book is about. Simply brilliant.
