| Ah,
that time of the month. Last year, a collection of short stories
called "Period Pieces" shared stories of a girl's first period. This
collection is geared for older readers and includes more in depth coverage
of this universal condition. Stories of rituals, stories of traditions,
stories of fear, stories of comic relief all combine to make this a fascinating
collection. From the slave girl who dreads coming of age since it
will mark her as a breeder. To the high school girl who desperately
tries to get to the ladies' room. To miscarriages to hidden pregnancy.
From comic to tragic. This collection has it all. |
