I am so happy i did. The book was increadibly well written. There was a wonderful rhythm and it almost seemed poetic. It had its confusing moments, if you read it I reccomend you read-up a little on Indian culture. It was helpful for me to know about their caste system, religion, and fudes with other sects. This characters life is packed full of action and there was never a dull moment, so i would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a riveting story.

Never have I read so many parenting books. Stella - I'm not one to turn down a direct recommendation. My TBR is so long now, I surprised myself that I read it so quickly. Framed - I'm not sure if I would read this one again myself. Chica – There are definitely certain reads that appeal to me at certain times of my life. Never have I read so many parenting books.

It was also difficult for me to figure out how I felt once I'd finished. (I think I'm with you there on the ending...) I was so impressed at the way she weaves everything together, the assortment of characters, and the way she dealt with their emotions. I think the difficulty in saying you enjoyed it is because it's so saturated in sadness. Glad you took my recommendation!

But now that I'm back in India, I have completely stopped reading them. In fact I don't enjoy them at all anymore :). I guess you need to be in a time and place to read some books.
