“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”Well over a decade has passed since the first time I read F.

Barrie’s “shameful” misrepresentation of events. When, in 1900, the Darling children vanish from their bedroom, their canine nursemaid, Nana, fetches parents Mary and George from a dinner party.

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi VoThe Brides of High Hill is the fifth installment in Nghi Vo’s SINGING HILLS series of novellas. I found it a solid enough of a story if a bit slight, though it’s possible that if, unlike me, you’ve read the others you might have a more positive response. Cleric Chih is accompanying a young bride, Nhung, and her parents to the estate of Lord Guo, where Nhung is to be wed to her wealthy but far older husband-to-be.

When she first heard the story, she was a little girl in China, sleeping at her aunt’s house beside the river, banana trees thrashing with night storms.

My stitches laddered their way up the split seam, in and out one side, across, and then in and out the other. When you pulled the thread through, if you had done the job right, it closed the seam like it had never been torn at all. The salesman kept glancing from me to the road and back again while I worked. I was mending a jacket, his good one, he had told me, handing it over. It draped heavy across my lap, the sleeve I wasn’t working on dangling down by my bare calf.
