Først vil jeg gerne sige tusind tak til Gads Forlag, der har sendt mig et eksemplar af denne bog. Det er jeg rigtig taknemmelig for.Det startede ud så godt. De første 80 sider fik jeg læst ret hurtigt. Derfra gik det desværre ned af bakke. Ideen med at en ung pige rejser ud og leder efter sin far er...
It's just ok.I am not a fan of romance so was saddened that this more that than a girl-finds-father story. I mean, that's HOW she finds her father, through his romance with his childhood love, but there was very little introspection, learning, or understanding on her part and she never really did fi...
A nice little love story set in a remote town in an exotic Asian country whose culture the protagonist is completely disconnected from (she is a typical New Yorker), and learning about it equates to her learning about herself. Clicheish and trite, although if you're looking for a quick read, this wo...

A beautifully written book about a daughter looking for her missing father in Burma without a trace of orientalism and lots of grace. I don't usually get moved easily and this was almost a tear jerky for me. The silence between the proses really do speak volumes. There is much to be said for a novel...
I read the first 126 pages of this book, and the author's writing style was just not a good match for me. So that's about all I need to say about this one.
This book is a perfect example of what I consider "book club bait." A compelling blurb, major publisher's backing, glowing reviews, eloquent prose, family drama, journey of self-discovery, troubled self-sacrificing protagonist who just wants to do "the right thing."Book clubs fall for these things a...
Originally published at my blog Chasing Empty PavementsThe Good: Julia's mother is such a familiar character- a woman who thinks that her love will change a man. Ladies, let's be honest... there is just some dreamy idea that if a man knows just how much we love them, perhaps our love can make them c...
