| What an extraordinary reading experience this was. This title and indeed the book reminded me of Yanahigara's classic A Little Life. It's the same poignancy and same undercurrent of sadness, and you almost know, imagine the book, what the ending coul ...more | |

This book is a perfect example of how you can write a beautiful book that is moving and boring. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I found the whole approach of Eddie and Daphne almost bordering on creepy, in the sense that Eddie stalks her at the ...more |

| I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. This was so quirky, unexpected, miserable in some places, and still you find yourself turning the page. Millie is not a likeable character, yet at the same time, this is such a feminist book that ...more | |

17 years is a long time to wait for another novel. I had loved The Help, and I really was looking forward to this, especially considering some of the rave reviews. It did not disappoint. I thought it started brilliantly. The pacing was perfect, and t ...more |

This was an enjoyable, although a tad slow, book. I love the way in which Mira Sayal gives us all the glimpses of small-town life in the UK. Perhaps it is the ending that sort of seemed to fall away and made no sense whatsoever. Although it's just ab ...more |

|
| I suppose I should have really liked this book, but I'm not a fan of authors giving you a lot of characters to connect with right at the very beginning. This stories-within-stories kind of format has never worked for me. I quickly lost interest becau ...more | |

|
| This was just a blind pick while shopping at a bookstore, and I did not look at Goodreads. I just thought, "Let me just see what the story could be," and it sounded appealing, but the author has a peculiar style of writing which did not appeal to me, ...more | |

I'm so conflicted about this book. I had watched the movie starring Kate Winslet a few years ago, and although I liked the movie, I was wondering if I should pick up the book or not. When I finally did, I was a bit underwhelmed. I think the love stor ...more |

| Ruskin Bond is probably one of the best people to learn happiness from. The other person who comes to mind is the Dalai Lama. Both emphasize a cheerful approach to life, maintaining optimism. The world is bad in places, but laugh anyway, they suggest ...more | |

| I have become a fan of Tayari Jones, and I have read most of her novels. Somehow, this wasn't quite up there. I felt it was way too slow, and the dramatic reveal at the end was not really so dramatic. The writing felt a little bit clunky at times, an ...more | |

“It has long been known to me that certain objects want you as much as you want them. These are the ones that become important, the objects that you hold dear. The others fade from your life entirely. You wanted them, but they did not want you in return.”
