I liked it too. It does have that Asian feel and the dilemmas too. Great review! I linked yours to mine. Here is my review: Tea and Other Ayama Na Tales gautami tripathy’s last blog post..Monday: Start of another reading week!

I won this in a giveaway, and I can't wait to read it. I like short stories, but I'm always wary of them. Glad to hear this is a great collection. Anna’s last blog post..Giveaway: THE GIRL WHO STOPPED SWIMMING by Joshilyn Jackson

Thanks to all for your comments on this book–I’m glad the Southeast Asian setting appeals to so many of you. Some of you seem like old friends (Claire? Word Lily?–have I bumped into you at other book blogs? If so, thanks for following the tour!) I’m gratified when people who don’t always read short stories think they might try this collection. If you do, I’d love to know if it grabbed you.

It’s been so nice to connect with avid readers. Meghan, thanks again for participating in my tour.

Great review! I haven't read many short fiction collections, but I think this one sounds interesting and like something I am going to enjoy. Zibilee’s last blog post..That Went Well: Adventures in Caring for My Sister byTerrell Harris Dougan - 224 pages

This sounds really wonderful. The exotic and colourful cultures of Southeast Asia are rarely seen in literature and this looks like a worthwhile addition. claire’s last blog post..Diversity in Reading Meme

Every review/mention of this book has made me want to read it. Even with my usual hesitation about short stories, I'm just want to dive into this book. Word Lily’s last blog post..Words from my reading

I like an Asian setting, but I usually have the same problems with short stories as you have. Your enthusiastic review has made me reconsider this collection. Beth F’s last blog post..Weekly Link Round-Up (April 27)

I’ve really been in an Asian reads mood lately. I’m stocking up for a readathon that will turn the corners of my eyes up by the time I’m through, I think, lol! Right now I’m reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet… that’s a lie.. lol… that’s what I SHOULD be reading, but I can’t seem to pull my head out Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank, which is hilarious!

I think I put in for this book on the ER thingy. I’ll have to make sure it’s on my wishlists.
