Ms. Phal, you do have a way with words! I felt every emotion. I could imagine every gesture, every glance. I could feel the breaths and the pants. I have had this book on my iPad for weeks, and because it was a short story I figured I would just read it when I had some time but didn't want to get too deep into a big novel. No matter what I thought, this book definitely pulled me deeply into an unconventional tale of complicated love and adoration between a concubine and her king. I didn't really know what to expect when I started this book, but I found myself smiling as I read. I found myself surprised at the complex cast of characters, and at the masterful usage of words to convey a truly wonderful short story. Bravo!
