“Poignant, funny and moving’’ is a typical reviewer’s comment on this collection of short stories. Given that they include The Woman Who had a Ticking Clock and The Woman Who Jumped on the Bandwagon, the reader will hope to find something that resonates with her. If not for every woman, there is a tale for every mood. Celia Ahern’s writing is quirky, witty, thought provoking, and often she simply plays with thoughts and words, always to good effect.
