"Practice with me for just ten nights, Grandma."

Jimin pointed a small finger at one of the drawings and said, "Repeat after me. Grandma. This is Ah."

Malja said "eeh" when Jimin said "eeh," "oh" when she said "oh." It was a curious business even when she looked back on it now. A mere eight-year-old sitting an adult down to teach her Gah, Nah, Dah, Rah.

Overall I loved this collection even though I felt like it ripped my heart out and stomped on it at certain points. A good read.

“The attitudes they adopted out of consideration for each other slowly drove them apart…” This story is heartbreaking.
