‘Proving that less is more, even within the already pared down form of the short story, Bitter Tea first struck us by its sophisticated brevity. Through crackling and compact language, we are introduced to a young man and his mother as they are being driven to the father’s wake by an aunt. Along the way, we encounter compelling flashes of memory, especially in the extended metaphor of the mother’s “bitter tea,” which reveal details of the family’s tragic past.’ - Faizal Deen (judge)
