I thought this an excellent story with the POV from a young woman from a culture that keeps the female in the family both more watched and more protected although the young woman, Mina, has complicated stories about lust and men, young and old.
Captivating and memorable. Soulful, too, in a way that honors young women and men of that age, in their various entrances and exits, however temporary or not, and honors the older characters, too, in their own fears and lives. Thanks for writing.

Beautiful story! I feel so close to Mina, and the complexities of her relationship with her mother are all too familiar. Such a rich and full portrayal of a young character and her desires--we get right through to her heart. Thank you, Arshia!
