So far I’m just a visitor to this book, then, but it offers enough observation, drama, wit and seriousness to make me want to spend more time here.

The first of its three parts, ‘Peregrine’, begins with character sketches of people you might see in an Asian city or countryside – a saffron picker, a pedlar, a bone artisan – and goes on to a miscellany of other subjects – a contemplative walk beside a lake, a suicide, a boy killed by leeches, a mother wrestling with inexplicable sadness, a crew of three on a fishing boat, and so on.
