Journal Entry 1 by goatgrrl from New Westminster, British Columbia Canada on Thursday, March 25, 2004
Winner of the Orange Prize, which is cool, but I was on the bus (with it in my bag from the Sally Anne) before I noticed it's a book of short stories, not a novel. I hate short stories :^(. I'm not sure whether I'll read this one or not. (It sure has a great title!)
Journal Entry 2 by goatgrrl at Arts Club Theatre, 1585 Johnston St. in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada on Friday, October 22, 2004
I am reading this little gem slowly... I love the ordinarines of some un-named Scandinavian country that seems to be the setting for almost all of the stories. It reminds me a lot of Manitoba in winter (and summer, for tha matter). There is an unexpected absence of plot in almost all of the stories. Kind of like an almost still snapshot. I like it a lot... if I take a long time reading it, it will hang out longer at my house.
