Book Description
RENTED ROOMS, a collection of previously published short fiction, is more than the sum of its parts. In this small but hearty book, Linda Lavid offers an entertaining ensemble of contemporary stories of wide appeal. Misguided love, tales of mystery and characters who cross the line are compiled in one volume that include author notes at the end of each story. Like directorial comments in a DVD, Ms. Lavid welcomes the reader behind the story and discusses points of craft and inspiration. Whether for entertainment or instructional purposes, RENTED ROOMS illustrates how fiction is constructed and construed from the world around us.
