I really enjoyed reading The Fertile Earth,it's a memorable story. The book takes place in India, while it's beautifully described with its temples, scenery, you can taste and smell it, as the descriptions are very vividly portrayed. But there is a complicated history …more involved here, with the country fighting for its independence and the caste-system. The characters are memorable, you feel like you know them personally. Good story telling, I recommend it highly! (less)
