really hard to capture what I liked & got out of this book without repeating extremely specific moments. Less story and more meditation on identity, but in the enticing context of one woman’s brief relationship, with both a young man and with Cairo.

I read this to pre-read before recommending to a friend. It made me realise that some women truly love heterosexual men and I can’t believe what a grim grim world they must endure. Sexuality cannot be a choice, this cannot be the good place. Good luck to you all!

nothing really to criticise, was a well-written, well-chosen selection of short stories.

Just read at a time not particularly in the mood for short stories
