There were hints of broader world-building that made me wish this story was longer. I’d have loved to know more about the protagonist and this world.

Review of Salt by Srilatha Rajagopal (991 words) Tree And Stone, Issue 1, March 2022 : Donate , Read Issue or Read Online A short read, but heavy with emotion.

Review of Visiting by Avra Margariti (951 words) Tree And Stone, Issue 1, March 2022 : Donate , Read Issue or Read Online A short, touching tale about multi-generational relationships and how valuable they can be. It captured the essence of how a child's mind works, which is rare to pull off well. It's evocative and surreal, but it's also very everyday-ordinary-life. A lovely little story.

Review of welcome, caller by Sarah Little (1000 words) Tree And Stone, Issue 1, March 2022 : Donate , Read Issue or Read Online Conversations across time are always lovely to read. The protagonist finds a phone booth that lets her eavesdrop, so to speak, on her past or future self. The prose was quite nice, too. I wish this story was longer, I would have liked to read more detail about this world. Support us on Ko-fi -  https://ko-fi.com/ohjustbooks
