I‘m just going to say this may be one of the best short stories I‘ve ever read—Darwin in Heaven

This book of short stories (not all of them are about #Tonga) are particularly well written. But this opening sentence is definitely one of the best I‘ve ever read.

Overall I found this collection of stories interesting with the first couple and last three capturing my attention the most. The others made less of an impression on me but still worth reading.

This was great! First time reading this author. His stories are engaging, and left me to speculate about the ending. Often dealing with moral struggles. Recommend

Very good. Interconnected stories. Such a good exploration of family and place and love

Set in Thailand. Loosely tied together short stories with recurring characters. This took a while to read but it was me. I'm the problem. Some of the characters and their stories are more compelling than others.

Penny bloods were popular in the early 19th century and emerged as a response to the first-wave of gothic literature. Penny bloods were written by the Average Joe and went more for sensationalism over artistic expression but were popular and made good money. However, they still contained important social issues but were largely transgressive literature, particularly to do with transgressive women. (Cont. in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)
