Easily her Best Short Story Collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I'm not normally a short story reader, but I love most of Ellen Gilchrist's short stories -- especially her characters Rhoda Manning, Miss Crystal and Miss Crystal's maid Traceleen. This particular collection of Gilchrist's work is, in my opinion, her best and the easiest to lose yourself in. All in all, it's a fine representative sampling of her work if you've never encountered it before.Other short story collections by Gilchrist I'd recommend are "Rhoda: A Life in Stories", and "Drunk with Love".

I've read all of Ellen Gilchrist's work, and THE AGE OF MIRACLES is my favorite. The subjects of the short stories vacillate between serious and quirky, but each one is intriguing in its own way. Gilchrist lends a distinct personality to her writing that few authors have the capacity to exude. I also recommend FLIGHTS OF ANGELS.
