It was such a heartwarming reading! All the stories are lovely in their own way. The ability to express feelings without necessarily talking about them creates such a comforting experience.
The only downside is that I could tell it was written by a man… It’s just the way some women are described. Call it a superpower of mine or me just being picky, but it really bothers me. Like in The Sisters—the idea that a woman can only be truly happy by fulfilling her family’s expectations (I get that abnegation for the family is a deeply cultural thing, but come on, honest conversations exist for a reason). Also, why would you like to describe a man as someone who considers that the gynecology is a sanctuary for women where men should not venture

3.5 stars rounded up. Although I don’t necessarily agree with many of the themes in the book, I can appreciate the differences in cultures. And any book that makes me cry, I have to give at least 3 stars. This was heavyyy though - I need a palette cleanser now

Such a cozy book, !!! I personally think that the simplicity of the composition + the way the stories were written was the charm of the book. While reading i thought about how i could lend this to my younger relatives so they could read and enjoy:( would love to see this as a play!
A beautiful story. Heart-warming and gut-wrenching at moments.
Yes, it's repetitive and a bit old fashioned but I still got really invested in this. I wouldn't mind seeing this as a play or as a miniseries. I'm also looking forward to trying out the rest of the series.
