I will read the book too; maybe next year. Just added it to my list for the book sale.

Such a great way to build up the characters and so on. And the atmosphere is terrific too. As you say, this novel has a lot to say about immigration, culture and many other things too. That said though, it can also be richly enjoyed for its plot and characters. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
