i think this is a short story collection unlike one i’ve ever read before. instead of being several completely separate stories, each of these felt as though they were tied together by similar characters and themes. it was like a needle would pinpoint one aspect of the story and thread that one piece to the next story, then another aspect to the next, and so on. all of the stories were beautifully written, and ling ma truly is the queen of ambiguous endings lol
