Ms Ice Sandwich is a short story with a coming of age theme. The unnamed mc is narrating his story, which is prompted by his adoration for the woman who works at the sandwich stall at the local market.
The second part of the book, with the weaving of the school life along with the mc's love life, as well as the conclusion of the story, was pretty much the best and masterfully handled and written.
However, the start was slow and kind of boring. It was difficult to keep the interest high, as the narration felt flat and uneventful.
Still, it was nice short story.

A really nice, gentle little book. Really captures the feeling of being a child who doesn't quite fit in and who has very big feelings about the world around them.

I know a lot of people who have read this found it so simple. Maybe without meaning. In my opinion, the book is all about the many forms that grief can take, and those who lack power in society and those who have it, and Ms. Ice Sandwich who should by all means be powerless but retains inner strength despite it all.
