I'm not sure how to explain it but reading this book gave me a sense of peace, and understanding. I could not read the book the entire way in a single sitting because I felt that each story, though short, caused me wonder so I decided to read a series of stories and then stop. Each time I came back and started again I immediately felt the mood return. As I said it brought me peace and understanding, but I'm not sure how to explain it.
