I liked the stories for their uncanny atmosphere but sometimes I wasn't sure whether to expect a twist or to simply read between the lines and savor the mood portrayed. I like the first and last story more than the one in the middle.

I totally enjoyed this three little tales. They are so beautifully written, full of nostalgia, darkness and love.

So beautiful.
The focus is not action but emotion: that inner world in the characters, where traumas and changes reside, invisible to the eye.
