St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell

This collection was intriguing but ultimately disappointing. Ms. Russell has a strong imagination, and I enjoyed piecing out what was going on with the characters in the magical realism of the stories. But when it came down to it, I found that the stories trailed off, or lacked a satisfying conclusion. I appreciate that ambiguity is a valid artistic choice, but I don't think the ambiguity was serving these stories particularly well.
