Laura & Emma

Laura & Emma is a collection of brilliant tiny stories, some only a few paragraphs, that amazingly reveal, like a haiku, the eccentric whimseys of a mother, her daughter, her daughter's daughter, her daughter's best friend, and her daughter's best friend's daughter. It's a delight of a book, with odd plot twists, and strange life decisions on the part of the characters, that is told in a wonderful precision of words, with little jumps in time and space, and with a sharp feeling of truth.
