FEBRUARY READS

[rapa]

Last night I finished THE KASHMIR SHAWL, an interesting book by Rosie Thomas.  The story goes between 1941 when newyweds move from Wales to India where the husband is assigned to a Presbyterian mission area. Years later their granddaughter finds a shawl and lock of hair while she was cleaning out her deceased father's house and she goes to India to find the story behind the shawl. .....and quite a story it is!  Very interesting read that provides insight into colonial India along with some romantic capers!
