Book Review: It's Been Awhile, But...
Summary: 4 Stars
It's been over a year since I completed this book. I originally picked it up at my local bookstore when I was in need of reading material for a bus trip to Florida. Since the book was about India and was by a rather esteemed author, I bought it. I started reading the book during the nighttime portion of my bus trip and was reluctant to put it down when everyone wanted to sleep. I found myself wanting to take my time with the book. It carried a wonderful message and I was very happy with my choice.It ultimately took me almost two months to finish the book. I would put it down, pick it up - repeat cycle...but when I finished I felt oddly...gratified. Mind you, I didn't keep putting the book down because I was dissatisfied. Instead, it was due to what I said above - I wanted to draw out my experience with it.
I highly recommend this book and anything by Ruth Jhabvala. She has a true flare for her characters and the surroundings of India. This book was lyrically beautiful - and the character of Gopi, no matter how annoying he may seem, will win you over in the end. Enjoy!
