Reviews for The Roaring Girl
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This melancholy collection of stories concerns the odd interpretations that children give to adult situations, the things that we don't share with our loved ones and the embarrassment caused as a result of miscommunication. The stories were well written and some were memorable, but I always felt at a remove from the stories, even when written in the first person.
