A wonderfully‐paced, funny and insightful story about a mother getting to grips with her son’s impending marriage. Family Stone is warm and engaging and deals with familiar issues without ever seeming trite. |

This short fiction is poetic and tactile; the characters and backdrop are very real. These things combine so that the story about a Moldovan family, struggling in Stalin’s Siberian work camp, remains tough, emotional and always engaging. |
