My Reviews
Great read. Incredibly funny, endearing and thoughtful all at once. A simple story about creating communities and finding meaning after profound loss.
I read this book for the second time and it stands the test test of time. Exploring the duality between eastern and western culture within one family, the Namesake is well written and woven tightly by good writing and editing. This is Lahiri’s best work so far.
Interesting perspective on love, loss and how different cultures cope with both. Not quite at the same level of The Secret Daughter but worthy of some good discussion.
Brilliant sequel that does not let down. Atwood is economical with her words and provides evocatively different viewpoints from the Gilead. I’m not sure how much I would have enjoyed this book if I hadnt read the Handmaid’s Tale first. Both books are strickingly pertinent to current western politics and read as a cautionary tale of the fragility of human rights even in the most democratic countries.
The books stands the test of time. Well researched and a beautiful story of female empowerment during times when this was absent from history. Beautiful historical fiction?
Curious read with a bit of a bumpy start. Definitely interesting and insightful specific...The book did a great job of drawing interest into parallel dimensions
Met the mark of a good Covid distraction.
Chose to “Bookclub” this one with my kid. It’s a bit unnerving in terms of trauma as well as unhealthy family relationships...But it’s worth the discomfort. Non-duality- two but not two theme is poignant.
Brilliant. Good sci-fi type read for no. So if I readers
Read this in high school and just re-read it...still a relevant and thought-provoking parable that all young and not so young adults should read as a reminder of the worth of work but more so our dreams and passions.
