Robinson writes of love in the lives of upper class, east
coast, WASPs. In these stories she writes of marriage, divorce, remarriage, and
how the children are affected. Her prose is lucid and unornamented; the stories
are told with no unnecessary words. Not being of the group of people she writes
about, I can’t say if she depicts them perfectly or not, but they seem
realistic and lifelike- love, after all, probably works the same no matter what
social class you are, even if your other concerns are different. For some
reason I, who am not the biggest fan of short stories, really liked these. Just
something about how Robinson writes. Not “my favorite book of all time”, but I
enjoyed them a great deal.
