AR: 5.3 "I stitched the marketplace stalls heaped with turmeric and cinnamon and cumin and mustard. I embroidered vegetable stalls with purple eggplants and green melons." Gloria Whelan-Homeless Bird Gloria Whelan-Homeless Bird My review: This book won the National Book award. I can see why. Koly’s story will Resonate with anyone of any age so though this may be classified as young adults or children, I would urge anybody of any age to read the book especially people who loves Historical fiction and in particular Indian fiction. This is one of those books that I’m reluctant to talk about. You can read the description but this book is really all about the writing which is a tapestry of words and reads like one long poem. More then just vivid, the writing brings to life the Indian Culture, customs, birds and scenery in an utterly resplendent way that is rare to see. The prose glows. Koly's journey is a fascinating one and she is easy to care about. I loved to see how her talent for embroidery was woven into the story. It is an incredibly moving story and one that I feel Will Uplift the reader. I do love historical fiction but this book in particular made an impression on me. It is short and and it’s pretty easy to read. I think this is a definite five star read and was utterly enamoring. And I look forward to reading more from the author. 44 likes aucune critique | ajouter une critique
