review 1: Its a decently written book dealing with the loss of relationships, with endings and the quest for new beginnings. The plot is decent, the pace correctly languid as is the case with books on self introspection. The language is extremely fluid, a trait of Anita Nair's I have come to admire. The ending is open to interpretation, which might be a turn off for fans of neatly tied ends, but it worked for me. A good quick read that I could wrap up in two days.
review 2: This book is very well crafted; I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the plot, the pacing. A sometimes quite sad story about grief, starting over, forgiveness and different types of love, these are familiar themes to fans of Anita Nair, themes which are skillfully woven through and around the differe... morent life stories of the larger tale. A very worthwhile read and addition to her body of work. Recommended.(Publication note: This is the same book published in the India under the name: Lessons in Forgetting.) less
