The first story of the book, The White Game, was so terribly good, that I could not go on reading. I had to digest it first. I am not from America, I am from Europe. So I did know the stories about Rosa Parks etcetera. But this story really brought it home to me..
After that, I took the stories one by one. They did not have such an impact on me like the first one, but they certainly did have an impact.
Of course there are stories which I liked the most.
The first one, as I think I have made clear. The Ten Days of Newtonmas, about sexual harassment and what you could do against it. Hero #8, so heartbreakingly sad. ( )

A good book of thought provoking short stories. I was not sure I would like them after I read the first, but the stories seemed to grow stronger as I read. Retrospectively, I am not certain whether that was because of my understanding and acceptance of the author's techniques, or whether the best stories were at the end.

The stories were set in several different time frames, ranging from the present through the 19th and 20th Centuries. They all focus on interactions between powerless people and people with power. The resolution of those interactions provides the author's insights. The stories have plot reversals, and surprises but the surprises are not the main point of each story.

This was an Early Reviewer Book for me, so I was not charged for the book, and I promised to give an honest review, which I have done. ( )
