A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories by Lucia Berlin

5.0

Ugh ugh ugh I loved this collection so entirely. Lucia Berlin does such an amazing job at emotional nuance and these wonderfully melancholy characters/stories. She does nostalgia and sadness and love so so well. This was my favorite train read for a while. I also loved that many of the stories overlapped narratives and settings. One of my new favorites.
