• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Keegan is a beautiful writer, no doubt about that. Masterclass in short storytelling. It felt like peeking into moments of tragedy. 

This collection was racist in places which marred the experience - memorably in the short stories ‘Passport Soup’ and ‘A Scent of Winter’.
