Title: A must-read short story collection
Review: These are deeply heartfelt stories; most of them are perfectly balanced glances at moments in a life, whether it be the life of a child or an adult.Ms. Cisneros is able to capture these moments in a remarkably intuitive and heartfelt way. What skill--but the best thing is, there is nothing obvious or manipulative about Ms. Cisneros' writing. This makes her stories unique. Some of the stories are more successful than others, but you remember her best because of their realism, and their integrity.If I could write fiction, I would want to write like Ms. Cisneros. She has a certain (dare I say it) purity and truthfulness in her style that is very attractive, and probably only comes to a writer after much heartache, testing and patience, while trying to capture the elusive "voice".
