As the pregnancy progresses the husband makes more attempts to find out the secret behind the woman’s ribbon but she is always able to divert his attention or prevent him from removing it. Soon after their honeymoon, the woman learns that she is pregnant and the couple are overjoyed but she worries a lot about whether or not the child is going to be a girl and wear a ribbon like her. Throughout their relationship they are happy but the husband keeps making moves to try and touch the ribbon even if he doesn’t try to remove it. Their relationships continues to develop leading to the pair getting engaged just before she turns eighteen and getting married soon after much to the delight of her parents. However, this young girl wears a green ribbon around her throat and tells him that he can never touch it despite him asking repeatedly to do so. We are introduced to our female protagonist who is attracted to a young man and she makes her advances known to him which leads to a sexual relationship between the pair. The Husband Stitch really kicked off this collection with a bang. I didn’t really know anything about this collection going into it but the synopsis sounded interesting and I had to pick it up especially since it was under 250 pages long. Review: As this is a short story collections, I will review each story individually as I have done with other collections in the past, then sum up my thoughts on the collection as a whole at the end of the review.
