Themes of heartbreak and the sadness of women aging dominate this collection: in ``The Stone in the Field,'''' maiden aunts inhabit a farmhouse, dreading human contact; in ``The Turkey Season,'''' a girl paid to gut turkeys observes the sexual carryings-on of adults. According to PW , ``The writer''s questioning memory gives us sharp flashes of reality that are so vividly recalled they permit us to live another life for a moment.''''
