Of all the books I've read this year, this one took me the longest. Anuja's book isn't hard to read, quite the opposite. But the weight of each sentence and each story was something that I couldn't go through in one stretch. It's easy to see how this book really is a lifetime's worth. The range of emotions Anuja does justice to in 16 short stories is extraordinary, almost as extraordinary as the fact that half the book was written by her as a child! The masterfully woven characters and skilful twists her stories take are a pleasure to experience. I hope to see many more books written by Anuja in the future. Maybe a novel, someday?
