Beautifully read. An engrossing story that really makes one pause to think about racial bias.

Story
It’s been 10 years since a group of college friends made a vow: that the first to get rich would rent a boat and invite the others on a cruise. Now, the friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. While their boat is being repaired, they can’t help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest - a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two.

Interesting and unusual story. Great short story for a hot day when you don’t want to leave the house and want to sit in an air conditioned room just “enjoying” being read to.

Good book for young adults interested in magic

For me personally, I felt it was a little too long. I found myself losing interest half way through as the plot evolved rather slowly. Beautifully read however. Lovely use of language

Story line was rather weak in my opinion. It got rather “tedious” and we kept waiting to get to the end. The reader read it well though.

Engaging right from the start. Interesting story, performed well. If this is ever performed on a stage near me, I’ll be in the front row!
