The Gift of Rain: A Novel
by Tan Twan Eng
Wonderful book(1/19/2010)
This was one of the best book I've read in a long time. I book of family relations, deep friendships and hardships. Wonderful story of the Japanese invasion of Penang during WWII.
I loved this book. It was wonderful to learn something about the history of the Taj Mahal. Well written and a page-turner.
Sashenka: A Novel
by Simon Sebag Montefiore
Great read(12/22/2009)
This book was a classic for historical fiction in that it gave me so much information dealing with a period in history I know little about. Sashenka's life and dealings with the KGB were fascinating as well as how the existence of the secret police affected everyday …more citizens in Russia. Excellent read.(less)
