A Compendium of Skirts: Fiction

By Phyllis Moore

Warmhearted humor, quirky relationships, and playful turns of plot distinguish this charming story collection from Phyllis Moore. So do the somewhat frivolous, somewhat valiant, and mostly misguided women of Moore's fractured world. Beautifully written and immediately accessible, A Compendium of Skirts is a moving, wise, and heartwarming book about life and love in our time. Poignant, mischievous, and very, very funny, Phyllis Moore's fiction debut limns the curious, confounded lives of women in flux.

Customer Reviews

A remarkable eye couple with expressive skills.

My relationship partner just handed me a copy of a literary magazine, "The Sun." On the back page, I found an ad for one of their workshops that asks the highly relevant question, "Is is possible to write about ourselves in a way that touches others and reminds them of our fundamental connectedness? Can we describe an intensely personal event without being narcissistic or luridly confessional?" The answer in Phyllis Moore's case is a resounding yes. This is a book to be savored. I recommend it most strongly.
