Review: Must-read Short Stories
Rating: 5 out of 5

House of Skin is Kiana Davenport's first collection of powerful short stories set in the islands of the South Pacific. The islands' cruel, even cannibalistic, history flows through these stories and through the contemporary lives of Davenport's characters. The stories are wonderfully written and compelling. Davenport is a unique literary voice.The only thing I would change about them is the covers, which don't convey the professional polish of Davenport's writing. I think they may be holding her back from reaching the audience she deserves.So, forget the covers and read the stories! They're worth every minute.
