Racist and colonialist right out of the gate. The author tells us in clumsy, halting self-revelations that the protagonist is smug, controlling, and unable to think outside of conventions, that a man's vision of life ought to be prime, while her unloving and dishonest family is portrayed as hard done by. The premise was compelling and the epilogue befitting, true to life.

All the projects are cute, although the pattern writing wasn't always clear to me as a beginner. I would also suggest not attaching the leaf cord into a loop shape until the pouch portion is finished so that you can thread it into the folded drawstring hem at the end and then finally seam it into a loop. Also the digital formatting was tiny and illegible on my kobo and I could only read it on my desktop app.
