Skin Folk

I've read quite a bit by Hopkinson. Sister Mine, The Salt Roads, and the amazing Brown Girl in the Ring are just a few of the books by her I've read. Skin Folk is a collection of short fiction, all of which are based in Caribbean mythos, which is her specialty. Specifically, these stories all have the similar theme of being able to change or remove one's skin, literally or figuratively. They vary greatly from story to story, some more magical realism, some fantasy, some fairy tale, some science fiction. But they all deal with the concept of acceptance.
