I will return to this book to reread particular episodes and to enjoy its delicate and elegant design. Penkov is a wonderful storyteller and his writing is peppered with vivid vignettes. My one reservation was that I felt that his skill in framing a short story was in danger of overshadowing the delivery of a coherent longer novel, making the book quite a difficult read as a whole. That said, his vividly conceived characters and moments such as the tooth eating grandfather make this a memorable tale.
Further reading suggestions are [[Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie]] and [[Life according According to Lubka by Laurie Graham]].
