This is book of short stories shedding light about various situations in Sudan. All of the stories will make you think and some will tug at your emotions. In terms of writing, the author uses a very artistic style. Although, I do appreciate the artistry, I found that it made some of the stories a bit confusing. (I am still not sure what she was trying to imply with the stories about the fly on the bus.) Overall, I liked the book.
