This doesn't read like a short story, it reads like the first chapter of a book... which I suspect it is. The short story essentially introduces us to the two main characters while setting up the background context of how and why they've come to be where they are at this point in time. There's a lot of information given that's largely unneeded in a short story, but of course is essential in the first chapter of a book. And it ends abruptly. But it took me about 30 minutes to read so it's not a p...more
This short story was very short. It had next to nothing to do with the Irish Drinking Socks themselves. All the protagonist, Lucy did was find them on top of a basket of fresh laundry. Sorry but this book is getting 2 stars for misnaming the story and a couple of grammar issues.
Loved it from start to finish will be buying the novel.Thought Lucy was avgreat character and Maren sounds like she was a blast.Funny yet poignant at times it was exactly what I like in a book.
I agree with Justine that it reads as the opening chapters of a book. It was average nothing very exciting plus the bottom of some pages were cut off. I would not use this for students' as an example of a short story.
The book is definitely the start of a novel and comes to a sudden halt. Leaves you wanting more. Hopefully it is the beginning of a novel.
Harmikseni Irish Drinking Socks (lupaava nimi!) ei ollutkaan novelli vaan enemmänkin kirjan ensimmäinen luku. Eikä niitä irlantilaisista ryyppäämissukistakaan ollut pahemmin puhetta.
Too many adjectives & small chat for myself but possibly the entire picture would be ok. Reads quickly.
This short story was a nice read. I enjoyed it enough to watch for future books by Maia Sepp.
Dragged me right into the story. Will be getting the rest of the book for sure.
The author mentioned a book this was a snippet of. I need to find that book.
Short story without much substance. Left you hanging.
a very short story i found it touching and a little on the sentimental side.
It is an enjoyable short book.
Nice story. Will try Sock Wars
Left me wanting to read more
