"The Cut of the Cloth" by Beverley Sims -- Review


The short story "The Cut of the Cloth" by Beverley Sims is written from the perspective of a young man, who works as a clown in a team with others on the streets of London. 
He describes one of his days before he leaves the country for traveling to India. The young man tells about his co-workers, they came to London from around the world and about the girl he likes. The important part of the story is the memories of the main character. He remembers his father, who passed away, was a famous magician in India and after the family moved to the UK - in London too.
The story is full of nostalgic reminiscence, sentimental feelings and it doesn't have a  happy ending. The internal world of the main character was described here in detail and it made the story interesting and memorable.
Here is the link to the text of the story:
