The Purple Swamp Hen and Other Stories

I'm trying to get through the books that have been on my TBR pile the longest, which means I'm getting to books I don't even remember adding, this one was such an instance, knowing myself it might just have been because I liked the bird on the cover.

I enjoyed this collection well enough, but I found that given the similarities of themes and tone between the stories they got kind of muddled together, that might be a fast reader problem. The style was generally pleasant with an air of it's not that deep so I'd say it would make for a pretty good palate cleanser type of read.

*3.5 stars. An enjoyable collection.
