“Pensri Kiengsiri [is] an excellent storyteller weaving a web of traditional customs, clothes, scents, foods, friendships, loves, joys and sorrows … [The Sky So Near] engaged my emotions, my interest in the lives of the characters, and made me want to know more about the characters long after I finished the book.”
