Welcome to Litsy!

Whilst this is beautifully written, with detailed descriptions of the world and emotions, it just didn't strike me as I'd hoped.
The short chapters were full but I struggled to feel much.

Such an interesting title :)

The Pakistani narrator's tale is gentle even when harrowing. Though the tale deals with his fifteen years of prison and his beatings and deprivations there, the story's narrator is more than his pains might suggest. Not just wisdom or acceptance colors the tale, but an honesty about being broken in many ways, a hope rooted in love as well as imaginings of it; even regret is valued. The telling is too removed to be stirring but it is moving.
