À propos de cet audio

These 20 superbly crafted linked stories navigate the difficult realm of friendship, charting its beginnings and ends, its intimacies and betrayals, its joys and humiliations. A mother learns something of the nature of love from watching her young daughter as she falls in and out of favor with a neighborhood girl. An intricate story of two women reveals a friendship held together by the steely bonds of passivity. A chance sighting in a library prompts a woman to recall the "unconsummated courtship" she was drawn into by a male colleague.

With trenchant insight, uncommon honesty, and dark humor, Elizabeth Hay probes the precarious bonds that exist between friends. The result is an emotionally raw and provocative collection of stories that will resonate with listeners long after they finish.

Ce que les critiques en disent

2001, Marian Engel Award, Winner

"One of Ms. Hay's most remarkable characteristics as a writer is her great economy, her ability to bring time in and out, to give long thoughts in short phrases, to create levels of intimacy and encroachment, to intensify the world by making it tense." (Ottawa Citizen)

"Captivating.... Fluid, evanescent, rarely in balance, the friendships recounted in these stories are everything but peaceful." (Toronto Star)

Small Change held me for the bulk of the story, but sadly, the writer started to lose me with too much repition of themes that had already been well-examined. The writing however is superior, delivering a narrative that wove me in and made me want to write similar stories of the women and relationships in my life. A great effort, albiet one that went on just a bit too much for this reader.
