I found this to be a very relaxing read. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I liked how the way the book is written really coincides with how Manod lives her life: there's clearly not a lot of activity or flashy customs but there's still a lot of heart, & I think the way the book is written reflects that. I think that this book can speak a lot to the kinds of microaggressions & exploitation that a lot of people who have been pushed off their homes or exoticized can relate to. & I can appreciate that my Welsh name was mentioned in the book!
