Customer Service and Other Stories — Linda Martin

The twelve stories featured in Customer Service and Other Stories range in time and place from the turn of the American century to some time in the near future; from California to Arizona to Stratford, Ontario.  At their core, they examine the human struggle for meaning in relationships and societies over time. Ambitious though this task is, each of these stories is focused with clear prose and a concise style, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader fully engaged and entertained. Wry and insightful, Customer Service and Other Stories holds a mirror up for the reader to examine their own life in a unique way.
