Three taut books that each pierce the author's mind and expose how an event has shaped her life. An abortion, a lifelong (for one of them) friendship, and a relationship. Each written about with such clarity, an honesty that almost shocks you, but leaves you grateful for being allowed a look in to the life of another.

The third, 'Swimming', I especially enjoyed, the way it weaved a physical and philosophical understanding of the act of swimming into the course of this short-lived relationship, to feel like she was left with something after the relationship had gone from her life. And we were left with something too, this book. Something she touches on as well, adding to the impression she gives by writing these auto-biographical stories in such a 'novel-ly' way, blurring the line between life and story.
