I can't say enough good things about this book. It's all four of her collections of short stories in one - Tumble Home, The Dog of the Marriage, and two others. You find yourself wanting to read it aloud to someone. Her use of language is incredible, and you come away feeling like you need to create. Each word serves a purpose. I won't be parting with this one.
