Reviews for Ashes in My Mouth, Sand in My Shoes
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nothing to get hung about. Basically just another book for a Petterson "completist" to read. Charming little stories that offer little to nothing to rave about. But no disappointment as I already expected his short work to not do me like he does with his novels.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Perfection in a small book. This could very well be my very favorite work by this most talented writer. This was his very first published work. It is all from the viewpoint of a young boy and consists of a collection of closely-related short stories. The voice in the stories is just so perfect for an insecure young boy having to deal with the small things that came his way every day, as well as the huge events of his childhood.
