I found this collection quite hit and miss. The names for people and places were quite strange and hard to follow.
I took notes and read very consciously and still didn’t find it easy to follow all the connections of characters and timelines, though it did help.
Some of the stories were interesting. It was humorous to see all the ways women could end up naked for extended periods of time.
All in all, the writing style felt like it could have been from a century before it was and that made it hard to get through. It will be great for some, but not for me.
Hard to recommend.
