I just started "Exit West",by Mohsin Hamid. Good reviews, good so far...
Thanks Loruach for the great poem
So far April is dry so mercifully has been the last week of March, we've had more than our share of rain this year. The pink jasmin is blooming and its aroma is filling the air. The camellias, azaleas and tulip trees are already losing their colorful flowers, this season seems to be on steroids
So glad you enjoyed Homegoing! I found it hard to put down as the story had so much depth to it, even though it was in some senses, a collection of short stories. I finished it on Monday (in case any of you saw my incomplete post, which I have removed) and was really sad to see it end.
However, I seem to be on a roll of choosing good reads. I am almost finished reading Isabel Allende's latest, The Japanese Lover, another engrossing read that travels from WWII to current times. Lovely, lovely book!! I cannot believe I have never read this author before, but intend to fix that shortly.
However, my next book is Lisa See's The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. The reviews are fabulous and have set the bar high, but then I always enjoy her books.
By the way, In March Reads a book I so highly recommended, The Heavens May Fall by Allen Eskens, won the Genre fiction prize for the Minnesota Book Awards a few days ago. I think it was well deserved.
I recently finished Night School by Lee Child. I thought it was Child's best effort in some time. Very good.
Also, has anyone here read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins? It was on the N.Y. Times Best Seller list for a few weeks. I am nearly finished and wondering what anyone who has read it thought about the characters Hawkins created for the novel.
