Book Reviews of The Boy from Lam Kien
Book Review: Yes, way overpriced
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a beautiful short story of a timid woman's chance encounter with the outgoing little boy who lives across the street. July's perspective on life is original and she conveys so many ideas and emotions in such small space. The awkward connection between these two people of different nationality and generation and gender is tender and funny and moving. I give the story five stars. However this little booklet, while charming, feels like it was printed on a home computer and stapled together. Now that you can get this story along with 15 others in July's hardcover book No One Belongs Here More Than You the only reason to have this is if you are a collector.
