MacKey, Mary, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review: "Economy and the relentless purging of every needless word have been Berriault's hallmarks....Her work is distinguished by the beauty of her prose, the range of her interests and the almost lapidary care she lavishes on every shade of character and meaning....A telegraphic writer, Berriault can summarize an entire life in two sentences....Far from making them seem shallow, Berriault's refusal to probe every detail of her characters' souls makes them seem more profound....Berriault's ability to take the particular and made it universal gives the stories in 'Women' a philosophical depth seldom found in short fiction." |
