Being an INFP myself, I could say I can relate to Ko Hnin Nwe to an extreme extent. And Aye, I do totally get her life choices (mainly career) as I have been in that place before. From my standpoint, I would say this book is character-driven (I really like the characters). I am not that really satisfied with the plot of Part 2 which is the main reason I don't give it 5 stars. If there was no part 2, I would definitely give it 10 stars (just a figure of speech xD) Talking about the dialogues, I did find some lines to add in my quotes collections (they were that good) It's all about the conversation babyyyy!!!
P.S. I'm glad I'm finally back to Burmese books, thanks to Kyi Aye, you are my Burmese Sylvia Plath XOXO
I love it!! This is my first book to read of Kyi Aye. She left such a big impression on me that I tried to find her books after that and kept reading it. I have read it twice and I will read it again. She surprised me by how her ideas are outside of the box at that time. We can clearly see that in the characters. And the language, it is concise, clear and beautiful. Her burmese language is just gifted. Every sentence is beautiful, poetic and clear.
Thought provoking casual conversation between a man and a woman at a wedding about the man's broken marriage 10 years ago. In this book, Kyi Aye touched the downsides and mental conflicts of marriage that occured as a result of socially approved traditional marriages while introducing new perspectives to approage marriage and relationships, pretty much different and controversial from the traditional and conventional ways of human relationships that we are accepting until now.
