I read this collection in 2 sittings. I absolutely adored how raw, beautiful, sexually charged the stories were. I could not give it less than 5 stars.
The stories cover many sensitive topics: religion (of course), poverty, family, sex, love, food, homophobia, and more.
Highly recommended. It will be firmly in my top 3 of 2022 reads, I'm sure. But perhaps not to gift to older, prudish relatives...!
Thank you @pushkin_press and @netgalley for the copy!
