For school. I read most of it and found it interesting. While the author has received some criticisms for accepting and perpetuating some ethnic stereotypes in her work, she was actually brave for her time in addressing the issues in these stories. Her use of irony is excellent in some of the stories, especially the titular Mrs. S.F.

Welcome to the third issue of required reading for my English class.
Mrs. Spring Fragrance by Sui Sin Far is a collection of short stories about Chinese immigrants living on the west coast at the turn of the 20th century. All of the stories are brief and impart some sort of moral. I thought that they were okay. Generally speaking, short stories are not really for me, so there wasn’t anything particular that drew me to this collection. Also, I thought that some of the endings for the stories were a bit odd.
