The Caprices by Sabina Murray

4.0

I enjoyed and learned a lot from this collection. I was particularly impressed with Murray's use of research within her fiction. She made the Pacific come alive for me in a way I haven't experienced before, and she created wholly memorable characters. Most specifically, I will always remember little Trinidad, Jose, and Mrs. Garcia from the first story. They're the kind of characters that I will find myself thinking of a year from now and will have to try to remember where I know them from. Also, last week Sabina came to the fiction class we read this collection in because she won an award at our University, and she is one of the funniest and most genuine authors I have ever met in person. I'm really looking forward to reading more of her work!
