I fell head over heels for the first half of that book and it just went off the rails for me in the end, but you're so right about it being DAMN close.

Such a fine novel. Love your story about Cartes Postales from Greece -- sometimes where you read a book has just as big an impact on the experience as the book itself.

I have told everyone I know how wonderful I found this book - and a debut novel to boot!! I was lucky enough to have the book brought from The US in the summer and have read it twice - magnificent!! Reviews in our national newspapers are singing the praises of this book and I expect it to win several awards. Thanks for the tip. I have enjoyed Victoria Hislop's "Cartes Postales from Greece". Partly for the lovely presentation (you have to buy the book it won't work on a device) and because I was holidaying in Greece and found it so atmospheric - it's a collection of short stories nicely interwoven and a comforting easy read.<br />Happy New Year EmilyJan Clydesdalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-43176140081786828002017-01-02T06:25:10.922-05:002017-01-02T06:25:10.922-05:00So glad Mohsin Hamid's new book is on your lis...So glad Mohsin Hamid's new book is on your list.
