Review
I'm on the fence when it comes to short-stories, I love them if they are executed brilliantly. It's those few that don't pull it off that make me not interested in them.
Unfortunately this was one of them. I didn't understand what was going on, everything seemed to be jumping from one person to the next. All I got from this was this woman was having an affair, once her marriage had ended she wanted to end the affair.
I didn't feel anything for these characters, I felt like I was reading a manual about what was going on in these strange peoples lives, and overall I didn't care.
Now I know it's hard to write short-stories, you have to put as much information as possible in so many words, but it can be done. I've read short-stories where it was executed brilliantly.
I'm sorry to say that I didn't enjoy this book, but this doesn't stop me from picking up other short-stories in the future.
My star rating for La Belle Femme by Aine Greaney is:
