A book with a title like that – I couldn't resist buying it. This collection of stories sometimes made me laugh, sometimes made me think, sometimes just made me wonder. I identified with some of it, but some of it was way out there. When I finished this book, I decided I didn't much like the author's style; recently, I realized something about her writing must have intrigued me because I've started reading another of her books (a collection of stories called A HARD TIME TO BE A FATHER). I can't wait to see what I'll think when I get through this new one. Meanwhile, I'm hoping someone will enjoy WICKED WOMEN.
