This was a beautifully done short story collection, it had everything that I was looking for in this type of book. It was written in a realistic way and I was invested in what was going on. Kirti Bhadresa writes a strong story and I was glad I was able to read more.

Thank you for the early copy!

Get ready to meet a range of characters in this fascinating story collection that explores the lives of those who are so often ignored, yet provide the essential labour that others prefer not to dirty their hands with.

These are ordinary people, some in less than advantageous life circumstances, but there are universal emotions and family dynamics at play that most readers will recognise.

It's good to see BIPOC representation here. Definitely worth a read if you enjoy short stories - particular those with a multicultural element.
