Short stories are best read one a night just before you go to sleep, and this collection by Angela Huth, which brings together work from the last 30 years, would keep you going for nearly a month.ÊOnly two stories are new, but they do not depart from familiar Huth territory, which is small, sometimes comic, emotional dramas, the kind that temporarily shake her characters' personal lives but of which the wider world, often including the progatonists' own families, are only marginally aware.Ê In other words, Huth has an eye for perfect short-story material.
