Murmurations - Andrea Rinard

In twenty-five short stories, Andrea Rinard introduces an eclectic group of women attempting to claim their own space and to find meaning in the mundanity of relationships, eating, shopping, grieving, searching, and dropping a kid off at college. Stark, spare, sometimes surreal, but always lit with a spark of truth, these stories are at once amusing and infuriating, comforting and heartbreaking, and always familiar.
