Singapore is a magical city,well detailed here, and thus, giving the reader a great backdrop. From its elite to the poverty stricken streets, we see a young girl, tormented by her father's gambling sickness, which threatens to destroy the family. The narrative is engaging throughout and filled with stirring emotions. Though fictional, it has a, true to life feeling about it. Gambling is a terrible addiction, which often had devastating affects, not only for the gambler, but for those closest to him, as demonstrated in, Nourished By That Which Consumes.The story is well written with some lovely descriptive passages. The writing is uncluttered with an exotic, yet dark vibe.A highly enjoyable novelette. I look forward to reading more from this author.
