About this book
A collection of little gems!
Ann Bronston brings to life a world of longing and loss; of loneliness and isolation; and, ultimately, a shared humanity that reminds us to look more deeply into all our human interactions. With stories that are both funny and heart-breaking, Bronston draws us into the skins of her characters. The result is a life-changing creative ride not to be missed.

A collection of stories as noteworthy for the range of approaches that they took as for the variety of their subject matter. Ann reveals in her fiction the catholicity of her interests, the range of moods, voices, and tones to which her imagination has access. Whether writing in the first person or third, present tense or past, about the vagaries of childhood or the ordeal from an addiction, she exhibits unparalleled authority, grace, elegance, and rigor.

Eskimo Nights is a story about familial betrayal merely twenty pages long yet with the density and convolutions of a short novel.It is reminiscent of Flannery O'Connor's The Artificial Nigger and is a beautiful piece of writing.

Original, intriguing, and deeply moving, Ann Bronston's gloriously written stories typically introduce readers to characters who have made questionable choices and now teeter between stepping them back or going forward. With great wisdom, she makes us care about her people, a feat not likely achieved by a lesser writer.
