I've had this book for 17 years and have finally persevered to read the whole thing. Sadly, I didn't really like it but I think that may be because it's best dipped in and out of rather than reading in one go as there is great variety in the writing styles. I've also been horribly spoilt by reading a short story anthology by Tania Hershmann.
The stories that I particularly enjoyed were:
Frostbite by Janice Galloway
Revenge by Ellen Gilchrist
Some Are Born to Sweet Deligh by Nadine Gordimer
The Wrong Vocation by Moy McCrory.
In my opinion the best story was 'Language' by Mary Scott and this is the basis for me passing this book on to a friend who will also enjoy this short story.
There were some stories I read and had absolutely no idea what was going on in them. Regrettably, I couldn't be arsed to go back and re-read them to try and work out what was going on.
