Now this is writing!

All of the stories in this book were easy to latch on to, some were more enjoyable than others and I wished they didn't end so fast. The Orphan, by Mary Dorcey, is without a doubt the most disturbing thing that I have ever read, and I wept while reading it. Is it possible that such evil could exist? Is it possible that this story is based on fact? This book made me definitely want to read more by these authors, most of whome were unfamiliar to me (with the exception of Maeve Binchy and Mary Gordon). However, I don't think their books are too available in the US. As I am planning a trip to Ireland this summer, I will surely look for them. I would definitely recommend this book.
