"This collection of stories about the women of a small area of Austria during the first seventy years of the twentieth century is rich with lovely prose and well rounded characters. Trapped by tradition and expectations, we soon learn these women lead a complex double life of lust and secret passions...of subtle bargains for position and power. As the years pass, loose ends come together magically as old mysteries are solved and relationships come full circle. A beautifully written little book."
"Short stories with common thread . . . community in Austria, and the lives of women as they intersect. Story of war and difficulties of what these women endured over an 80 year period. Again, slower read, but I was drawn in by the writing and stories."
"I've read this book three times over the last several years and love the format and the characters. It's a collection of short stories that all take place in the same Austrian farming village over a span of 70 or so years of the 20th century, based on true stories the author was told in such a village. While each story focuses on different characters, some stories aren't resolved until the characters pop up in a future story. A moving look into the challenging lives of women in rural Europe through wars and hardship."
