Distant Shores

book cover


I enjoyed this book very much. It was a quick and easy read. The book followed the journey of a woman throughout her marriage and the troubles they faced. It also had different perspectives chapter to chapter with the 2 sides being her point of view and her husband's. I will be looking for additional books to read by this author as I felt it was well written.

I thought this was a very interesting book. When this book came out, I was too young for it, but I know it was a world wide phenomenon, and I always wanted to read it, so I finally got around to it. Even knowing the spoilers from hearing about them, reading about them, etc. it was still attention grabbing. I enjoyed how it told you parts of history and connected ideas you never thought of before. Even though it was fiction, it made you think about the world around you.

Six Days In Bombay

book cover


A very well written book. As a recent emigrant out of India, I long to feel the Indian air around me. This book did just that! Took me back into those slim and slender streets, the overly dense colonies, and the ever warm civilizations. Furthermore to the trip back home, it also helped me explore some major European cities via its text explanations... The narrative is very gripping and engaging. Sonaz story and the way her feelings and thoughts have been expressed are not just true like but equally captivating. A lot of effort and research has been put into this book. Such great character building and lovely scene setting in the beginning and the novel reaches a NECT level when it turns from just fiction to mystery... Loved every bit of it...

We meet him at age 19, starting college, where he meets his film professor, Robert Denning, who will influence Michael's life in a profound way.

When The Wolf Comes Home

This book is not for the faint of heart. It is gory and strange (very Twilight Zone) but if you can get through that you are left with a fascinating story about love, fear, parenting and all the impacts that it has on us as kids and adults. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this book- what a ride
