Fee's Reviews > The Happiness of Kati

I love the book because the sentences are lyrical and poetic. It makes me really hope that I could read Thai proficiently so that I could have read the original version in Thai Language instead. My favourite sentence from the book is "Grandpa said Grandma's smiles were so rare they should be preserved and canned for export overseas, like top-quality produce."

Kati's grandpa is such a lovable old man and I love Kati for having the innocence and maturity when it comes to dealing with life's painful experiences. She also finds happiness in the simplest of things, and I think that this is something good to be reminded of.

The story may be simple, but if you view it as a whole, it actually is a very beautiful book with many great lessons.
