My book group just finished reading this book. Amazingly well written short stories. Usually I am not fond of short stories because by the time I get engaged in the story, it is over. But these are marvelous. The characters feel fully real and I find I want to know much, much more about them.
Much of the stories center around the theme of immigrants living in a foreign land (here). The stories feel extremely real. A lot of isolation and loneliness, too, unfortunately.
Great book but it did leave me feeling sad.
