>Review of In an Uncharted Country

>

Today’s Virginian-Pilot has a review of my collection of linked short stories,In an Uncharted Country. Subscribers (the paper, based in Norfolk/Hampton Roads, has the largest circulation of all Virginia newspapers) can see the review here: A Heartfelt collection of Virginia People. An excerpt is available to all: here.

Here’s the reviewer’s conclusion:

Garstang’s collection is a hopeful, heartfelt book, the stories of people struggling with and against one another and finding mutual territory in which to breathe and be content.

I’ll take that.
