Such a visual book!! I'm glad you ended up liking this one--I was a little worried. And, yes, I am definitely glad we were able to discuss this one in a bookclub setting. I certainly got a lot more out of it than if I had just read it by myself.

I am currently reading a book called Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathan, which I am enjoying so far.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016121702180892526.post-47596054129208872762008-08-26T17:32:00.000-05:002008-08-26T17:32:00.000-05:00Wendy-thanks for sharing your review...I added you...Wendy-thanks for sharing your review...I added your link to my post!<BR/><BR/>Dar-You are so right--this book requires extra time and concentration to appreciate the incredible writing.<BR/><BR/>LF-this is my first book set in India, but definitely not my last!

I really love when authors write so descriptively. It sounds as though a person should read this one when they are really ready to take the time to concentrate on it.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4016121702180892526.post-12473231778978078262008-08-24T21:29:00.000-05:002008-08-24T21:29:00.000-05:00You're right - Roy's language in this novel is won...You're right - Roy's language in this novel is wonderful.
