The author has a gift for storytelling crafting words that convey innermost feelings and thoughts from a diverse set of characters that are bought together in an everyday urban drama that is probably repeated across the country numerous times At times I found it difficult to keep track with the large number of people who had a role in the story but with their lives being woven together the tale came to a conclusion where everyone played a part At times tragic it was also uplifting how human nature revealed its positive side in unexpected places A thoroughly good read English
