“How do you know when a story is done?”
“My character reaches a point when I know he has a life of his own. I can let him go.”

There were so many layers to this short little book. Made to be read in one sitting, there isn’t really a beginning, middle or end. It’s a glimpse into a time and place and manages to show you culture, food, and so much personality with so little.
