A review by melc
Suite as Sugar: and Other Stories by Camille Hernandez-Ramdwar
Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.
This collection of short stories was a mixed bag for me. Some were punchy and I immediately engaged with the characters and felt challenged by what the author was discussing.
I particularly liked the opening story about a group of spontaneous gurilla homeless squatters protesting against the unfair property system in Toronto. I also liked a killer of a story called Yellow Dog Blues narrated by a stray dog.
But there were quite a few that I just didn't get and they left me cold. The language was hard to understand and some of the cultural settings weren't very accessible.
An interesting and challenging read overall.
This honest review is given with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
