Jigs & Reels

By Joanne Harris

   Joanne Harris has decided to take a different writing avenue with Jigs & Reels, her first collection of short stories. As many of her fans know, she has written and published short stories before but has never compiled a collection. Jigs & Reels has twenty-two short stories, ranging from suspenseful to magical to humorous, each story carrying a vast array of feelings.

    This reader was delighted to find something different from the author's usual full-length novel and to discover the depth of subjects that Ms. Harris is able to write about while still managing to keep a reader's attention. Each story holds its own place and adds to the delightful collection with the depth the plot and characters that one can always expect from Joanne Harris' work.
