It took a while to get into this book, in part because the style of writing is so unusual for me, but I have to say I enjoyed it a lot.

Some stories more so than others, but it was all very soothing, calming and full of nostalgia.

My favourite short stories was A Sea of Blood-Red Azaleas, Lover's Lone Flower and Winter Night.

They sure broke my heart.
