Books like Night Swimming

Please don't shirk away from my one-star rating. The writing, character development and stories were very well done. My problem was (is) that every story dealt with loss - whether is was due to a death, or an absentee parent (suddenly absent, missing fathers dominated). I was left feeling profound sadness over my own losses; I was reminded of deaths in my own family the last few years, and in the last few months, the broken relationships not fixed before the deaths occurred. I found no joy reading this collection, and I am a huge fan of the short story, and of short story collections. I wish I could give a different review.
