Customer Reviews

Cleverly brief

This is a clever novella, with a clever title, that is the right length for what it has to say. There is exactly the correct amount of descriptive language, characterization and story-line to make for a very enjoyable read. The bit of humor, namely the confusion about age, is unexpected and delightful. How nice for the author to have this novella find its way onto Broadway quite some time after it was written.
