Aug 24, 2021This volume has a little bit less of the slice-of-life feel as all of the chapters build upon the previous in some way. I want to know more about how Amir was raised. Her entire family, aside from her older brother, seems completely heartless and mean. Her brother at least understands some of the necessities of their societal set up, but he cares for Amir and wants her to be happy. How did these two escape becoming jaded and fierce like the rest of the family? Mori's beautiful illustration really shines in this volume as we explore “cloth preparations” - embroidered fine linens that girls work on for their unmarried lives and take with them as a dowry. The embroidery patterns showcased are works of art themselves, and Mori beautifully captures them in her detailed style. Read Full Review
