This was my first Ruth Ozeki, and I quite enjoyed the collection as a whole! through every story, there is an element of minor despair, of individual anguish and uncertainty at a crossroads of sorts, usually within relationships, life crises, and the ...more

“I've faced worse than a dressmaker who breaths fire.”
Jessica Day George

“It looks as though your shop is doing well," Luka said gazing around, "Could you help me find a gift for a lady friend of mine?"

My heart plunged to my grenn satin slippers, and I had to stare down at Azarte for a minute, petting him hard. Naturally Luka had a "lady friend." She was probably nobly born: the daughter of a count or a duke. I imagined her having thick dark hair and clear skin, and was bitterly jealous. "Of course," I stammered after a time. "What would she like? A gown? A sash?" If she came in for a fitting, I decided to "accidentlly" poke her with every pin.”
Jessica Day George

“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
