While I really enjoyed Tessa Hadley's writing. I found that each story was set up for a reveal or a plot twist that never happened. Therefore my reading experience of this short story collection was rather flat. I was unfortunately disappointed with the collection as a whole. Hadley seems to be a very competent writer and maybe I should read her novels next to appreciate her style better. Overall the collection as a whole was too subtle for me and the endings seemed to dissolve of the page with no rounding up of the story. A rather average 3 out of 5 star reads for me I am afraid.
