"This is the most beautiful book I have read in a very long time. (Ever since Meir Shalev’s novels three or more years ago.)
It describes the life of a strong intelligent and broken woman who has chosen seclusion from a world that reminds her constantl" Read more of this review » |

"This is a collection of nine short stories. I found it mixed, a few I really enjoyed, while others not so much.
The characters in these stories are in the United States from India or Bangladesh. The stories explore the cultural aspects of the people " Read more of this review » |

"The narrator, "chief" Bromden, is one of the most powerful and beautiful characters I've read in a long while. From an unnamed Columbia River tribe, he's a big man made small by what he calls The Combine, that group of institutions and practices inte"

Another unforgettable journey into 18th-century Cornwall, and quite possibly the best of the twelve Poldark novels. The chapter in which Dwight and Caroline say goodbye to their infant daughter is about the most heartbreaking thing I've ever read. Pr ...more |

Very contrived. So, Pitt was first on the scene after a prostitute was murdered. Fair enough. He's an inspector. He was just doing his inspector thing. Why, then, was he charged with the murder, then left to rot in prison for weeks? Ah. Because it su ...more |

“She danced the way she always did, holding her body and arms still while her legs and feet sprang across the floor. When she was sober, her head remained stationary; when she was drunk, it nodded in time to the music. She always closed her eyes. She always wore the same, ecstatic smile. And I, always, watched in wonder.”

“I looked at Emma and realised that she was grinning – actually grinning – directly at me. ‘Love you, Jamie,’ she said. I fought back a sudden prickling of tears, then told her that I loved her too. And for that moment, nothing more was required. It was, in its way, perfect. I felt safe, and strangely optimistic. My worries had disappeared, like rain on summer earth. I took a deep breath, savoured the feeling for a few seconds more. Then, with a final smile, I turned from the room, secure in the knowledge that even the most difficult times contained moments that made a person feel truly alive.”

Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…

“Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”

Haha! Love it! And it's very apt, as I literally finished watching Home Alone 2 five minutes ago :D
And the same to you, my friend! :D x
What a lovely message! Thank you! And wishing you all the very best, too. It's good to have met you :D
