You generally know how the stories will wind up fairly early on, but that is not the point. What is far more interesting are the set-ups for each little world.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not actually a fan of short stories at all. They typically don't let you get into the heart of a character enough to make it worthwhile. Frequently they lack any character development at all. Not so with Donoghue's stories. She pulls you in to her characters and leaves you wanting more, but not ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49036574">more...</a>]]></body>
