Abstract:
The stories in A Chorus of Frogs are spirited and moving—they leave the reader with lingering suspense and shock and wanting more. Themes are universal: Oksuni’s brutal compromises in a time of war; Leonor’s struggle with the extremes of climate change, and the mystifying choice she makes; Angela’s desperate flight to save human-kind—and how life, in the end, found a new equation; Irene’s sweet deal with old Sparky, and the devilish payback he meted… And readers will long be haunted by the love of a woman that endured beyond the grave. Fernando Ramirez is a first class storyteller—his collection deserves space on your front bookshelf.
