  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I really enjoyed it even though it was a slow start. My favourite stories in the collection were The Village Washer, A Drink of Water, Eraser's Dilemma and My Girl in the City. I think they captured the people and countries of Trinidad and the UK well.
