Mending: New and Selected Stories by Sallie Bingham 260 pages



This collection of short stories has been on my “to read” list for a long time and I am glad I finally read it.  I did not realize until I had the book in my hands that the stories spanned the years from 1967 to present, but the characters and plots are not noticeably dated in any way.

Some of the stories are sad and troubling and some of them are thought provoking.  Sometimes the author tells almost the whole story before revealing the characters names, and sometimes the action really only takes place between two individuals.


I found her writing intense and precise and I enjoyed this book.
