Customer Reviews

Words that evoke more than an image.

Houses of Ivory by Dr. Hart Wegner is a small undiscovered treasure in short story anthologies. The words are exacting in conveying the story of privileged child's life in one time Germany, sometimes Austria and post World War II Poland. His images are so precise and vivid that I wanted to hold onto each one in memory forever.
