The Age of Grief is a collection of five short stories and one novella by Jane Smiley. I enjoyed her work before and I enjoyed this one too. My favorite was the novella which is the story of two dental students who marry and have three little girls. The dentists work in the same office with one parent working 9 to 2 and the other parent working 12 to 6. The story is narrated by the father. His love and appreciation for his wife and each of the girls is evident in the way he describes their learning styles and habits. Each character is fully developed and I enjoy that style of writing.
