It is awful. A bunch of sad stories that do not make much sense (Rat Stories? Come on). If this book could hold its own weight it wouldn't need to ride the coat tails of Memory Keepers Daughter.

I read "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" first, and absolutely loved it! So I bought this book, hoping that this one will be as good. And it is! I saw this book at Border's, and I was going to pay the $14.00 cover price for it. But I decided to wait, and thankfully I did, because the price here (I think I paid $3.60 or so for it) is much better. But I will say that it is worth the cover price. I thought this book was new....but it actually was published I think 1997.
Some of the stories ended in a way I had think about them for a few times before I actually got it, but they all are written beautifully. Each story is about a character, rather then plot, which is awesome. You get to know each one, indentify with some, and really feel what they feel. And if you've got kids, short stories are the way to go! My kids like to talk to me when I read LOL So this way I can get done with a story quickly and then go do what I need to do and come back later.
All in all, I highly recommend it. Also, buy "The Memory Keeper's Daughter", its awesome!

Kim Edwards' short stories in SECRETS OF A FIRE KING receives actress Bernadette Dunne's fine acting skills and smooth voice as they offer insights on individuals living on the edge of society, from a fire-eater and a juggler to a cleaning woman whose life is entwined with Marie Curie's. Love, enchantment and hardship blend in some outstanding surveys.

This book was a huge disappointment. After reading her best seller I thought this book would be better.

I loved Kim Edwards novel, "Memory Makers Daughter" so I decided to try a book of her short stories. I am not as impressed by this book of short stories as I was the novel that she wrote.
