Giving Alms by Khin Chan Myae Maung
4.0
Giving Alms is a thin book with three short stories based on the narratives of the people of Myanmar. ‘Stillborn’ and the titled story, ‘Giving Alms’ were very moving yet my favourite piece was the last on, ‘Plants that Grow in Shade.” All thee stories were told beautifully and brilliantly.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Unexpectedly good in many ways cause I thought it would be a bit ostentatious when it comes to the writing. (Apologies for being a little prejudiced.) But the storytelling was pretty satisfying and in each story, the writer depicted her characters through torment and tribulations with such brilliance. I’d rate 3.5 out of 5.
