I devoured this culture-clashing story in broken English, stumbling over malapropisms, borrowed words, shattered sentance structure.

I yearned as the protagonist yearned, for fulfillment, for understanding, for a place in an alien world.

I felt the ache of her awakening sexuality, of her realization that sometimes love doesn’t last.

And I missed her when it ended, as all things must end.

A must-read.
