Connie Willis' Take a Look at the Five and Dime
I did not /intend/ to read a Christmas story, but I’m not too mad about it. This novella centers on Ori, a college student who spends holidays with an assortment of former and almost-relatives, including a sort of grandmother who loves to regale everyone with stories of the Christmas she worked at Woolworth's. But now a relative's new boyfriend, a med student, is convinced that the stories about Woolworth's are indicative of a repressed traumatic memory, and wants to study grandma. This was a cute and light read, even if the romance needed a bit more development. Grandma was awesome. A-.
