I can make it through this review without crying. I can. Because I'm an adult and adult's don't need to cry all the time. *wheezing noise*
Spoilers Below. Spoilers and perhaps tears.
This second book was nothing like the first one, which I also read and loved. They're completely different, even though the characters are the same. The books are so different.
This story deals with addiction, which the first book touched on a bit. Tim is an alcoholic and this story is about his relationship after-the- ...more

This had a very different feel than the previous novella. Where In a Dark Wood was light hearted and fun (creepy serial killer aside), this one just grabbed me by the heart and squeezed from beginning to end.

Mr. Lanyon, I have always said that the length of your stories (most of them) drives me to despair. They are too short!

How can this book be called The Parting Glass?? I want another round!
Very intense.
Those these are the same characters as In a Dark Wood, I did not find the story line to be dependent on the first book. I found this to be well written and realistic. However, I now need to go find something frivolous and happy to read to clear my palate.
