So pleased to announce that Library Journal gave YOUNG WOMAN IN A GARDEN a (wait for it) Starred Review! And here it is: In this first collection from Sherman (The Porcelain Dove; The Freedom Maze), what seems ordinary consistently veers into the extraordinary and often downright surprising. From a scientist studying a merman in her pond to two neighbors connected by matching ominous red pianos, these 14 stories are all full of surprising fantasy details (fairies, ghosts, werewolves, witches, magic), and distinctive voices. Ranging in length and style, these tales are captivating and odd, with characters and settings fully and memorably fleshed out. VERDICT Sherman has won several awards for her fiction, and her literary talent is reflected in the depth and variety of stories presented here. For fans of the authors previous works as well as those seeking quirky, fantastical short stories.--Katie Lawrence, Chicago Copyright 2014 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. Could I be more pleased? Well, not really.
