's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: setting-india, translated, short-stories

A five year-old child befriends a money-lender from the nearby mountains of another country, and we experience the transcendence of age, class and nation. The writing is gorgeous. I quickly got to know the father, the mother, the young girl Mini and her friend Rahamat, and it seemed an entire novel was packed into these few pages. I cannot wait to read more by the author of this heartwarming and absolutely perfect story.
