Captivating and Enveloping

The title and cover of this book suggest a book about men and their struggles; however, my favorite short stories by Michael White in this collection are the ones told from a woman's perspective - and there are quite a few of them. Michael White's men are all one and interchangable. Perhaps, a male himself, he is better able to detatch himself from the female characters. They are real: unsteady, afraid, human, and a must-read. I have read his novels and find that this carries over; the female voices in A Brother's Blood and The Blind Side of the Heart are captivating - the narrator in A Dream of Wolves pales in comparison.
