Interesting viewpoint on another culture. Initially, the writing was very descriptive and coherent, becoming less so as the story progressed, as the author grappled with images and thoughts that needed to be translated into a language that i suspect is not her first. Creditable effort neverthless. as a story it did hang together but there seemed to me to be a few viewpoint issues and it needed more time to allow it to develop better - the ending appeared rushed, in other words
