This book has four great short stories. They are the perfect length for night time reading. From the back of the book: "..in this collection of four unforgettable stories, we meet people struggling to understand themselves and the unexpected turns their lives have taken..."

A lovely collection of 4 (longish) short stories. Old-fashioned in the good sense: Canin's writing emphasizes his characters' humanity, and for the most part his characters feel true and real. There are no slick, post-modern tricks here, just good writing. If you like this collection, I can recommend Carry Me Across the Water, as well, which is one of his full-length novels.
