We So Seldom Look on Love by Barbara Gowdy

5.0

This book mesmerized me. I don't know how she did it, but Gowdy managed to take all sorts of grisly, grotesque and downright heart-wrenching subject matter and make it beautiful and even occasionally romantic.
I can't think of a single story that I found particularly weak. I felt this was a really strong collection, and one that I won't soon forget.
