For me this collection was really mixed. I absolutely loved the first story and would give it five stars, and I very much enjoyed the last, but some of the others in the middle just weren't for me: 'Her Share of Sorrow' especially, where the characters seemed cliches, and the story weak. In many of them it was the endings that didn't seem quite right. It's not that I want every tied up neatly, but I kept feeling as though they didn't end in the right place.
In this collection Hadley is at her best when she's evoking a particular period in time (1960s) and location. The writing, setting and story in 'An Abduction' were completely perfect
