I enjoyed the unravelling of the story, but the mix of fact and fiction ended up undermining each other.

Quotes by S.R. Wilsher (?)

“She wondered what he might mean by 'speak'. She was unsure whether he really spoke in euphemisms all the time, or whether she simply imagined that he did, whether it was merely a symptom of her slow retreat from him.”
― S.R. Wilsher

“Was he proud that you became a soldier?” “No, it hurt him deeply. He was very angry with me, in his own silent, simmering way. “During the war I did what was expected of me when I pulled on the uniform. I can see now that he was afraid that was what would happen to me.”
― S.R. Wilsher, The Collection of Heng Souk
