Becoming Me

And Other Stories

De: Tanya Angel

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Embracing a wide variety of subjects, this choice collection of ten short stories represents the latest from Tanya Angel, her seventh book of short stories. This grand cavalcade of superbly crafted fiction offers fascinating tales of struggles in everyday life and extraordinary situations.

It respectfully examines betrayal and results in “Inevitabilityville,” and “Twin Crosses,” inside and outside of marriage. “The Colored Rooms” provides a gripping and controversial tale of how that may be remedied professionally. “That Day At The River” examines life and love in a rural setting, with “Becoming Me” examining it in a more urban upscale setting. “The Legacy” is about romantic love as it is imagined to be by two extraordinary lovers. While the absence of love is evident in these: “The Time of Suffering,” “The Life And Lot Of A Housekeeper,” and “The Occluded Mind,” which are taken from real life and based on real people. Last is the piece “My Dating Life,” which is a witty monologue of advice on navigating the dating scene by someone who has experienced it in all its comic and serious ways.

The stories in this collection are narratives of lives that transcend the ordinary, in that they may surprise, reveal, thrill or depress, seduce or repulse, but always evoke a deep emotional response, connecting the reader to the characters and their experiences.
