I'm married to a scavenger of sorts and he often totes home rescued boxes of books that I paw through with shiny, hungry eyes. I pull out the odd and interesting and add them to my teetering stack.
I really enjoyed this collection. As many have said, Alice Adams really is a master of the short story. This collection is really delicious, with each story interpreting the concept of "return trips." I'm really enjoying diving in to her work and I look forward to reading more!
