<div>It took me a minute to acclimate to the language of the 1790s, but what a book! It's too bad that it's unfinished. Ahead of its time, smart, and were it a miniseries, you know you'd be there for every installment.</div>

Rated Marine Park: Stories by Chiusano Mark (2014-07-29) Paperback 8/10
This collection of short stories about a less popular section of Brooklyn came my way through a Penguin marketing email looking for book reviewers who might be interested. I neglected to do a proper review (my “being behind on reviews” tales of woe are best saved for another time), but I still enjoyed this book. Let it be known to the marketing people within publishing houses that those emails do their job because I’d never heard of Chiusano before that day, and I’m not sure if I would have noticed the book otherwise.<br><br>(This mini-review appears at <a href="http://persephonemagazine.com/2015/05/the-delight-in-reading-lists-and-challenges-20-suggestions/%22">Persephone Magazine</a>.)
