Once I started reading this short story collection it was hard to stop! Quite varied in types but themes of connection, family, diaspora, and women’s relationships/desires (incl some casual queerness love 2 see it). Some of the stories read more like teasers or brainstorms for a longer story/novel, rather than complete short stories. All in all really enjoyed and am excited to read more by this author!

gothnailcare's review

I may pick this up again because the prose is incredible and the stories are deeply affecting, but the content is so incredibly dark that I can often only read one story at a time.
