Three Roads Home
In "Somebody," the first of Thrasher's three stories collected inThree Roads Home,a young man heads for Europe after confronting his wife with what he feels is proof of her infidelity. She learns his flight has crashed before she can establish her innocence, and as she awaits confirmation of his death, she reviews how their marriage came to such a state. "In Care Of" is about a successful writer in a tired marriage, who hears from an old flame. "Still Life at Sunset" tells of a woman who thinks of a love that could have been and decides to pursue whether it can be. Not much happens in any of these stories, and each could have been shorter, but Thrasher's intimate tone and his male voice in a decidedly female milieu have some appeal.John MortCopyright © American Library Association.
