A lovely story that needs more chapters! 5*

I would love to see it continue.

The amount of care, thought and love that you put into writing this story is really humbling. I enjoyed your story very much. Thank you for sharing it. I look forward to reading more from you!

Thank you.

Thank you for bringing so much thought, care, and meaning to this story. I appreciate such an informative description of the Canadian multicultural immigrant experience.

I'm a Canadian currently travelling in Srilanka. I don't have much experience with women here, but I met a university student which is similar to the way you have portrayed Manjula. Women here are extremely shy and don't know much about sex. But they are prettier and vixens in bed.

Ps:I emailed her this story. Definitely going to roleplay this story with her.

What a pleasure to enjoy both your wide and deep writing, and the huge energetic yearning as these two slowly explore their sexual connection. I am really grateful to you for exploring issues of caste and race and teaching me a lot about Sri Lankan history as well as opening up questions about how people live together across differences, in different parts of the world. And all the while, my senses are surging from the sexual heat in the air - wow! In addition, you propose a good way for bringing honesty into the bedroom - sharing broswer histories.

Your writing was very enjoyable, your imagination fun. Thanks for sharing your story!

I stumbled across this story by a Literotica author I'm not familiar with. His prefatory note refers to its length, I check: nine pages (!). To read or not to read? So many times I've found new-to-me Literotica writers not something I continue reading.

I give it a try/start. Immediately hooked. From start to finish.

(The opening scenario was an attention-grabbing start, that also provided a backdrop to the story by highlighting prejudicial attitudes that a person from a foreign culture may have to endure.)

I guess that after years on Literotica, reading an average of several stories a day (I'm retired) and thus thousands of stories, I did not expect to read another truly great one. This one is AT THE TOP with the best stories by the best Literotica writers.

I do not think I can be too effusive about this remarkable literary creation. I will try to list some of why it appealed to me so strongly that I was left shaking my head in wonder by the end.

The writing was of unusually impeccable quality. No grammar/spelling, etc slip-ups. Having 8 years post high school education, I do not often encounter unfamiliar words.

I looked up "anodyne," and, judging from the dictionary definitions, this was the word to use where Isaac Tolkien used it.

I felt that I was reading a highly literate man. I think it would not be amiss to compare him to the literary giant who is the second half of his moniker. If IsaacTolkien wrote a trilogy as long as The Lord of the Rings, would it have similar appeal.?

Isaac Tolkien's ability to make you feel emotions, empathize with cultural intricacies with which we are unfamiliar, identify with the people of his story is impressive. (Someone who has such knowledge of the culture and language must be a part of it himself.) A stellar story-teller.

I have next to zero knowledge of Sri Lanka. How interesting to learn of peoples with language, ideas, cultural views, struggles due to their race, the imposing difficulties that lead to departing one's homeland and problems emigration leads to. All seen through the eyes of second generation immigrant Tony -- so it is personal, not statistical. This imparted an exotic element to this wonderful romance.

Speaking of which, this story IS a romance. Not that I'm quibbling with its First Time category, which is also appropriate. Seldom does a Literotica story describe

the compelling feelings, emotions, intensity of love as strongly.

To attempt a summary. This stellar tale is one of the very best I have read on Literotica. It has:

Flawless language.

Stellar storytelling skills.

Cross cultural appeal.

Love and romance.

Characters you care for/about.

Behind this simmers an unrealized sexual yen that eventually combines all the above factors into a fitting, loving sexual climax to the story.

A tale that I hesitated to start, went well beyond my expectations.

It left me with a warm feeling.

Thank you, Isaac Tolkien.

An unhesitating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Paul in Oklahoma

Agree with 'Paul in Oklahoma', marvelous piece of writing.

The depth of knowledge of the cultures of the characters probably speaks volumes on your own heritage (write what you know). But the path taken to get us to see their POV, to become involved in their lives and their struggles, truly a gift how we come to feel them. We see their situations unpack and resolve, and how they ultimately grow together always forging more and deeper bonds.

Loved it.
