Tales from the Cafe

It has been a few months since I read the previous book in the series, so I was glad when the author made any needed recaps for events that have a follow up in this one. The theatrical feeling of the writing keeps being present and one of the best features of the series.

The main idea of the short stories in this book is death related regret. Regret of not having done or said something before or after someone is no longer in our life. It hit me particularly hard because recently I experienced some of this.

I left it having a bit more hope.

“It’s a part of life, and carrying out acts of mourning allows us not to forget.”
