Delicate Edible Birds

Average rating4.3
A powerful collection by one of the best writers out there. I'm sad that I'm almost through Groff's whole catalog, because each time I read her, I feel inspired to be a better writer and also like there are not enough hours left in my life to get as good as she is. The women of this collection a complicated crowd of the underestimated and misunderstood. Their stories made me cry and rage. "Blythe" in particular hit a little close to home for me. I think I've said this in other reviews of Groff, but she is a masterclass in the craft whose voices will echo in your ear long after you finish reading.
