Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Heartwork, Solveig von Schoultz, translated from Swedish by Marlaine Delargy and Joan Tate, 1951-1976, Finland, SHORT STORIES

"Solveig von Schoultz's ideal short story is "like a waterdrop that reflects the whole of human existence." Her insights are penetrating; often they recapture things we have forgotten, or portray feelings we would rather not acknowledge. What makes her stories exceptional, however, is the compassion that permeates them..."

(E.B., p. 99)

I absolutely loved the first story (Hosanna), it was 5 stars for me. I enjoyed the book, but the rest did not live up to that first one.
