Heating & Cooling – Beth Ann Fennelly

Great for a short read on a train commute. Described as Micro-Memoirs, the book consists of snippets from the author’s life.  A known author and middle-class poetess type, Wife and Mom, she takes an off-kilter, down-to-earth approach. 

Of the slim volume, my favorite Micro-Memoir was Heating & Cooling. Unlike this author, tradesmen fixing things in my home doesn’t inspire fear in me anymore. I had the home repair problem she described solved before the story’s end.
