A definite good read
It's a short story, but it's well put together. A short story should have details and balance, along with the beginning, middle and end, where it feels complete. This is one of those stories. I'm a fan of Diamond's work, both novels and shorts, and this is a great story. Evandro is one of those characters that is mysterious and makes you want to learn more about him. Cloacina, still grieving from the loss of her husband, develops a friendship with Evandro. And the best part is that it doesn't feel like a rushed or forced friendship. I do look forward to more from this story, and here's to hoping for a part two.
