The pattern continues in Volume 2, with some characters making reappearances.
But the highlight of this first volume is a sharp contemporary take on the characters from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With The Wind, told from Mamie’s perspective, that proves especially satisfying. A pair of stories examine the fragile yet undeniable bond between mothers and their daughters. Two granddaughters attempt to haul their grandmother back from mental decline. In Volume 1, we meet two long-time friends as they struggle to reconnect in light of one’s new role. Rosey Lee steps beyond the traditional nuclear family unit to acknowledge the many other compositions people call ‘family’, and how those relationships are defined and redefined as we progress through life. This dual-volume of ten short stories examines the family unit in all its glorious, difficult complexity.
I purchased these books in ebook format through Amazon.
