"Night Talks at the Threshing Ground," set on a cobblestone street, is a unique suspenseful and supernatural novel that takes readers on a journey through the pre-liberation and early post-liberation era. With simple strokes, the author depicts the diverse lives and inner worlds of people during this unique period.
It vividly depicts the atmosphere of people telling ghostly and absurd stories while enjoying the cool summer nights in the countryside. Although I know they were all made up, they evoke many memories; I was genuinely quite scared when I heard them back then.
It rekindled my childhood memories of listening to old people tell stories in the threshing ground, and I highly recommend it!
A good book, a down-to-earth good book, why are there so few reviews!
