As night falls. Piles of bonfires were lit, and blazing yellow light and blazing red light floated up into the dark green sky with green smoke. Areas of scrubby wilderness were dimly illuminated. Figures reflected in the firelight dashed against each other on the wet grass. The banana leaves swayed in the warm and fishy wind, and exaggerated and deformed shadows swallowed up patches of light. There was a drizzle of poisonous mist floating in the night sky, silent but real.
Reader comments
The stories in the book seemed to unfold before my eyes like a picture. The shadows and lights reminded me of "Sherlock Holmes", and every detail hid a secret. I feel like a little detective, looking for answers in the world of words. This book is really wonderful and I couldn't put it down!
