This is a good collection of stories with scope to enjoy and reflect. They have a quality where you will find more on the second reading. However, some stories resonated more easily with me and made the process of reading more pleasurable and engaging.
Others I was pleased they were just a short story as I never really warmed to them.
They all reveal a thoughtful writer with something to say about life and becoming more observant.
I preferred the first two stories and was fully absorbed by the story that reflects the title. The writing here in The Tall Owl was of a familiar setting and the descriptions brought it alive for me where other locations in the stories were more ambiguous and less welcoming.
I always like to seek out new authors and I was overall impressed by his work and story-telling ability. The last story let the collection down for me with grammatical errors regarding the names of characters and the sense of an unrealistic scenario. But for this story I would be recommending the book wholeheartedly. So it is with this reservation I reflect on this book and remain to be convinced of the author’s true worth and feel less committed to reading a longer novel.
