Swim Back to Me

Swim Back to Me is a new book of short stories by Ann Packer. I picked it up thinking it was a novel, so I was disappointed when I started reading it, as I am not really a fan of short stories.

However, the writing is wonderful, and Packer has great insight into family life, especially that of teenagers.

I prefer novels because they give you a chance to get to know the characters a little better before moving on to an entirely different set of characters. But if you like short stories, this is a good collection of well written fiction.
