A Manual for Cleaning Women, by Lucia Berlin
I am absolutely devouring this book of short stories by the late Lucia Berlin. I’m not usually a big reader of short stories, but now I’m questioning all that. This book is filled with the complexities of life — the hardships and the beauty, and the characters are just so real. It’s easy to sit down and read one story over a cup of coffee, then think about it for the rest of the day. A marvelous read!
