It’s been a long time since I have read a collection of short stories. Heart & Bones has reminded me of the beauty of short stories and the craft of writing.
Heart & Bones centres around relationships, but not only in the context of romantic love. It covers family love, friendship and bodily love. A diverse range of voices in the stories. I sometimes fear short story collections to read quite similarly. When each story has a unique tone of voice that fits their narrative, you know the writer has succeeded the craft of short story writing.
