My grandmother's cactus
Rather a weak read
By sally tarbox on 1 December 2017
Format: Paperback
Maybe *2.5 for an uninspiring read.
A collection of 21 short stories set in the United Arab Emirates.
They focus on everyday situations: marriage problems; parents and children; travel... The modern world with its affairs, divorces, career-minded youngsters is juxtaposed with a conservative, religious world.
Although the cover blurb says that each tale 'has a sharp sting in the tail', I have to say I didn't find this at all. They tend to fade away to nothing, and you're left thinking 'is that it?' Might be OK for a mediocre magazine but how they got published is beyond me!
