I adored the lightness of the book - the illustrations, the character dialogue and the overall plot - all of which resemble a moth’s wing in its delicacy and softness. I’m not sure if that’s what the author intended, but nevertheless, that light, gentle warmth that accompanies a cup of fenugreek tea accompanies you as you follow sweet Anya, who grows into her responsibility of being her village’s Moth Keeper. I love how you essentially learn about ecology here - where species and life are intricately interconnected and interdependent, and how in the end, Anya grows into her role - like a metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a moth. An excellent read!
