Customer Reviews

One of my alltime favorite collections of stories

In this collection the acuity of detail and the quirky eye for every tiny thing that makes a world unique are so finely tuned, so perfectly honed, that every page is a collection of intricate and beautifully rendered images. I love this book. I read "Midnight" over and over just to be in the world of it, and to marvel at its construction. If you read this book and love it and want more, read Licorice next. She's just as good in this novel as she is in the collection. A quietly stunning writer, no fanfare, no hype, just a solid body of excellent work.

A close and thought provoking look at a day in the life.

Abby Frucht takes ordinary experiences and turns them into unique "moments" in which you catch yourself feeling as though you are a voyeur into someone else's everday life. Intense and thought-provoking, this book made me want to pick up a pen and start writing.
