My review of Desire, by Kathryn O'Halloran
Look at that cover! Doesn't it look deliciously promising?! Ok. So I devoured this collection of short stories in one sitting. My favorites were THIEF and FINAL BOARDING CALL. But one of my favorite lines was from SHINY THINGS: "Everything moves with an underwater grace; with the indolence of a young girl eating icecream on a sunny afternoon, sleepy yet purposeful." Didn't that make you daydream of a lazy, carefree day? The writer does that through the entire collection. Her choice of words and phrases transports the reader into the manuscript and reality simply vanishes for those few short, but beautiful minutes. Oh if only I could vanish to that world... Wonderful shorts. Wonderful cover. Wonderful writing.
