PocketsbyAmal El-Mohtar I've been meaning to read this author for some time when CR book club buddy gave me the heads up re thisshort storyof hers from back in 2015.It starts of pretty much like a mystery about surprising strange things being found in a woman's pocket. She calls on her girl friends for help to solve this mystery. By the end ****SPOILER ALERT**** the story has transformed into a piece about the art of writing and its readers, the author might never meet or get to know her readers but keeps producing her work anyway. The final letter Nadia finds in her pocket is a love letter from any writer to any reader. Neat.View all my reviewsashramblings
