My Review
It is the first
fiction book written by Sally Cronin that I’ve had the opportunity to read. I
was drawn into What’s in a Name
collection and went on reading until the last story was done. I would call most of them
" tales with a twist." I really did enjoy this book...you may need some tissue at
times. You will love the unexpected and won’t think to put the book down. I
found it hard to put down
The motives and
emotions of the characters in all of the stories were well defined and
expressed. I really liked the fact that each story came to a satisfying ending
and the next story quickly engaged me with the new people and place.
It's
undoubtedly one of my most FAVORITE reads of 2017, in my TOP 5. Sally
Cronin creates stories that will
keep you flipping pages and loving it!
I won’t tell you
what they are about because being short stories I would reveal important
details and I want other readers to live themselves the emotions I experienced.
What I can tell you is that each story is as touching and compelling as the
next one. The thread that links them all stories or characters is sacrifice and
romance. Children, parents, lovers, life being lived.
These stories are
for me like a fragrant flowers bouquet, each flower having its own special
color and scent.
If you are short on
time, What’s
in a Name allows you to read something
start to finish, which I love. Great for airplanes or a one hour mental break,
beside
being just great for personal "escape from the world.”
Sounds like a lovely read. And you can't beat short stories when you have time constraints. Thanks for the review, Carmen.
