4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a rainy afternoon
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017
Jean Harkin’s Night in Alcatraz is an eclectic collection of very short tales — some of them ethereal, gauzy slices of life; some, fictional memoirs; some, charming ghost stories.
Harkin’s quirky sense of humor threads throughout the book, mitigated by her sense of gentle empathy.
Two stories I particularly liked were “Banana Foolery,” a silly piece about an April Fool’s joke gone awry, and “In Case of Fire,” which tells of an aged heiress besieged by her greedy nephew.
Night in Alcatraz is a quick read, just perfect for a rainy afternoon.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016
This is a small book that packs a wallop! Great stories that are very well written. Endings that are unpredictable. Thought provoking little tales. A very enjoyable read! Would make nice Christmas gifts.
