An utter delight

These stories are wise, witty, moving, and always delightful. They have a wonderful funny twist whereby the characters are drawn from ancient mythology and placed in present-day Thailand, but you don't need to know anything about Thai literature to enjoy them. Reading these stories, I felt as though I were in the presence of a Thai Eudora Welty, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to share in her world.
