Staff Review: The Octopus Has Three Hearts

December 15, 2021 Words Worth Books

Title/Author: The Octopus Has Three Hearts - Rachel Rose

Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Short Stories, Women’s Stories

In this Giller longlisted collection of short stories Rose manages to capture just what it means to be good people subjected to bad situations. This collection functions as a study  on "bad people", people making poor decisions, and those that are affected by them both. Rose's prose is poetic and pungent, with each story offering a new perspective on how people respond to elements of fear, anger, jealousy, and the unknown.
