The Woman who Borrowed Memories

S.M.

Like most short story collections, there was some unevenness. Some stories were excellent, some mediocre. But even a mediocre story by Jansson is better than most short stories I've read. She tackles the topics of loneliness, aging, relatives, anxiety, passion, and obsession with such originality. While I liked her Summer Book much more, this was still worth reading.
