Snow Garden and Other Stories

Extremely disappointed with this collection. I expected so much more from Rachel Joyce. This one was full of unsympathetic characters (which is fine by me but to everything there is a limit and in this case I've had enough with women and men who were either whining or screaming or crying hysterically), stories about troubled relationships, troubled marriages, love troubles, shopping troubles and troubles in general and an exhausting repetition of how we perceive Christmas in our times. Also the story with Jesus as a young boy was highly offensive, in my opinion.

I mean who uses the term ‘'Winter Celebration'' instead of ‘Christmas'?

This was definitely incompatible with what I perceive to be a well-written short story.
