Review 4: A Map Of The Gardens by Gillian Mears

A Map Of The Gardens isGillian Mears'

second collection of short stories. There are 11 stories in it, which are all, save two, set in Australia. It is a good read, A very good read but a challenging and demanding one as well both intellectually and emotionally.

It is a beautifully written, finely crafted collection of stories that deals with the difficulties of everyday life and the intricacies of human relationships. However, because of the poetic surrealistic of some the stories, one has to concentrate closely to follow them, but it is an effort that is worth making.
