A super solid collection. Not a single story bored me though...I did hope for more from some!

I loved the focus on women and also themes of family, motherhood, culture, grief, and politics that were weaved throughout.

A couple of the stories I think didn't have as much emotional impact as I would have thought, or left me a little confused as to what I was meant to leave the story thinking, but I think it's because I read them distractedly/while tired, so I don't want to penalise the book for that! After all, reading reviews of others, it looks like nobody else was confused. 😅
