A bit of fruit for the soul

You know when you bite into a piece of fresh, sweet fruit? It tastes like the most amazing thing you’ve ever had in your life- nothing could be this delicate yet bold, sweet yet powerful?

That’s exactly what this short novel is like. The complex delicacy of the first luxurious bite of a perfectly ripe fruit (I’m imagining watermelon or maybe pineapple?). It’s something that leaves behind a taste you can’t explain but will always search for.

The storytelling and form the book takes is phenomenal and I haven’t seen it enough. I would’ve easily read it in one sitting if I had the chance.

Beautiful, jewel-like prose. Came across to me more like magical realism than fantasy. Charming story, just without a lot of action.
