The title of this one jumped out at me - I never pass up the opportunity to remind myself I'm Irish. Imagine my surprise when the characters in the main story were actually Chinese.
Did not lessen my enthusiasm, however, because I'm also a sucker for a good story and also for cultural clashes.
The other stories included in the collection were okay, but not as great as the first. Worth a read.
