Recent Reads

1. The Wednesday Sisters
Yes, a chick-lit book, but I enjoyed it. Not great writing, however the story of women friends, the trials they endure, the ways they grow draws you in. Loved the writing angle and the Miss America and the moon landing background. I laughed. I cried. I stayed up way past my bed time to finish it. Want a good beach read? Get this one and dive in.

2. A Disobedient Girl
Another book based on the lives of women. Picked this book up based on 2 things - the cover and the title. A good read, if a little light on the politics of the situation in Sri Lanka. 2 stories that intertwine in an interesting way. Having grown up with servants, I am drawn to reading about books told from their point of view.
