With just one book of short stories, Kiana Davenport ranks among "my favorite authors" already.  Other reviewers here note Kiana's powerful style.  It's quite hard to find words to describe her words--she haunts, taunts, and carries a reader away to almost alien places and lives.Davenport's voice--writing style--is unique to anything I've ever encountered.  She sweeps you into lives of harsh reality for female characters in faraway places, immediately has you involved emotionally with the characters, and usually leaves you at the end of the story with a resolution for the character that leaves the reader satisfied at a conclusion, but often chilled at the conclusion that is foreign to, at least, most US readers' minds.I recommend House of Skin to readers of all kinds, from those who occasionally pick up a book to those hard core readers devouring books by the dozens each year.  No matter how much you read, I am certain you have never read someone's work as compelling or as unique as Kiana Davenport's.
