This book shares a wide variety of topics. I recommend this book a lot, every story has a different meaning to it that makes you want to read more and more. I love it! James Henna is brilliant when it comes to creating tension. Each story starts with a strong premise, which introduces the tension and it builds up pretty quickly. The reader gets quite a lot in a few paragraphs and it is interesting to notice the seamless blend between the different elements; action that is written into the descriptions of characters, the colorful settings, and the strong plot elements. The humor, of course, is one of the strongest elements of this collection. The sense of desperation and despair opens the book when the protagonist considers her ingratitude: “Weren’t the two daughters God gave us enough? He lived almost a year after Doctor Diver diagnosed his brain tumor, wasn’t that enough? Why must we set our hearts on things that must be limited? The Lord gives, the Lord takes, we should let it go at that.”
Rate: 4/4
