These strike me as modern day Chekhov stories. Great observations of character. Quiet lives are nevertheless filled with drama. Liked them very much. I listened to audio tapes, and I was a little put off by the reader. A bit too laconic. I think I'd have enjoyed these even more had I read them on the page. |
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
