“I really enjoyed this book. There are always questions about the advantages and disadvantages of first person narrators, but here the women who speak seem, paradoxically, so matter of fact and forceful that it’s difficult to believe anyone could tell their stories better. Some of their remarkable power is that the stories alternate between embodying epiphanies and valedictions—sometimes a quick goodbye, but always with an authenticity that convinces the longer it lingers. They’ll stay in your mind.”
—Ann Beattie

“Save Me, Stranger is a book of parables—supernal and sinister. Disturbing but comforting. Read these stories with a buddy, because someone will have to scrape you off the floor.”
—Louise Erdrich
