Barbara Metzger topped my list of "All Time Favorite Authors" a long time ago.  She has the most delightfully wicked sense of humor!  Each and every story in this collection has a beginning, middle and end without compromising the integrity of the story, whether it's a short story, novella or novel. Because of Ms. Metzger's amazing talent, she has no need to pad a story with graphic sex, vulgarities or repetition (YEA!).  I'm not a purest and don't mind racy passages, but come one, some authors just go way too far. You won't find a cheap trick like that in Metzger's books. Her writing ability doesn't need it.  The woman is a genius!  A reader can get that nice warm fuzzy contented feeling without blushing.  I can relate to her characters regardless of their "status" in society.  She makes them all so "human."  Really, if I could double the above 5 stars, I would.  This is a book I will re-read many times.  Just as I have most every Barbara Metzger book in my library.
