Everything My Mother Taught Me is one of 5 short novellas in the Inheritance series. This one is by Alice Hoffman. Due out 19th Dec from Amazon, it's 28 pages and will be available in audio and ebook formats.
I've always had a particular fondness for short fiction because it's spare and technically challenging, so you get a better feel for an author's expertise with the form. The writing here is amazing. This is a flawless story technically. The prose is precise and lyrical and the story itself is poignant and perfectly told.
Worth noting for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.
Five stars. This is a powerful story from a master storyteller at the top of her game.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
