Recent Anonymous review of K.M.Kaung's novella Black Rice -- From water convolulus to consumption --

A recent review of K.M.Kaung's novella Black Rice:

I just read Black Rice in one sitting, after dropping the other tome . .  .  I found it riveting.

Your style is very colonial British and it really suits the period. 

Your details of the two boys cracking almonds with broken bricks refresh the memory of my primary schooldays  .  .  .   I noticed there were less almond trees these days even though the country would do well even as an almond exporter.

Also noted the horror of multiple miscarriages to a woman .  .  .
