Each one will take you on a journey that is fresh and fascinating."A series of fictive vignettes...a wonderfulassemblage of voices. Introducing each of these "flash fictions" is a statement that snares the reader: "The minute we die we become more valuable." "The car smelt like mold." "There were no orchards in my childhood." "She'd always wanted a room that wasn't a room."They pull you into the miniature worlds Fruchey has created. Sometimes they comprise internal dialogues of an interesting someone, and you want to know more. Sometimes it is a question to tumble for answers. However, without exception you are engrossed." - from the foreword by Robert Eastwood
