I often wonder if it is actually more difficult for an author to write a short story as opposed to a full length novel.  With a much narrower window of opportunity to draw a reader into the story and yet keep it succinct and fulfilling for a reader is no easy task.  This is accomplished with aplomb in All I Want by the author.Other reviewers have given good summaries to peruse. As other readers have indicated, it is a story of bittersweet reminiscence but that pronouncement just reenforces what a good job the author has done by making the reader care about the characters.  I'm looking forward to reading Sentence of Marriage, which I already have and is a full length novel.  If Ms. Parkinson can engage readers so well in a short story, the novel should be well worth the time spent to read it.
