pickJust finished reading it...
It was a quick read. I thought it thoroughly shows us the emotional journey of Bala the protagonist who was married at the age of seven!!! and whose groom ran away after a few months... Overall it was a nice story
The anniversary of my grandma‘s passing is coming up (Valentine‘s Day). To honor her memory, I plan to indulge in some of her favorite things. So, what‘s the best, steamiest romance book you‘ve ever read & why? (Bonus points if it won‘t offend my feminist sensibilities). Also accepting: recs for classic Western films.
Please note: I‘ll be consuming the above along with copious amounts of beer & Hershey‘s Kisses. It‘s what she would‘ve wanted. 😉
My first pick for a R K Narayan read along.. A novella but I'll be able to see, smell, taste, hear and feel south India in every page. In every line. Illustrations by R K Laxman in this edition just adds to the nostalgia.
