NicrThe stories themselves were fine - quite engaging for the most part - but my Kindle edition was sorely in need of a good edit. I think this bothered me more because the writer is Canadian. I may have been more forgiving of a Nepali writer.
I really loved this book. I've been waiting to read it for so long time thank you so much for making it availble
I found this to be a nice selection of short stories which are quick to read. I can imagine that Nepal is very much the way it is described in these stories.
