Book Reviews of I, Rhoda Manning, Go Hunting With My Daddy: And Other Stories
Book Review: There's Nobody Like Her
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have ever read even one book or short story by Ellen Gilchrist, then you have had a special experience that will never leave you. She is simply unique--there is absolutely nobody else like her.
This collection of short stories, which span several decades in no particular order, are full of heart-rending, exquisitely written, slices of life that have such pathos, such reality, such a truly human essence, that we can even love Rhoda Manning's Daddy, who is a racist to the extreme. Impossible, you say? Yes, with any other author, it would be impossible, it would be repugnant. But it is not...not that we FORGIVE him, but we see him through the loving eyes of his daughter from the age of 5 well into adulthood.
Other stories cover a wide range of different experiences including, eerily, a story about Middle Eastern terrorists who plan to murder several people on their leader's request. Gilchrist explains at the end of the book that this story was written BEFORE 9/11, which is truly scary. She had no clue that something REAL would happen. The difference is that in her story, there is a happy ending.
