Sounds completely shallow on my part but the cover didn't pull me in so I haven't picked this one up. Doesn't mean I won't read it of course. It just means it may take awhile to get to it.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-51406982833151619052010-03-22T00:28:13.333-05:002010-03-22T00:28:13.333-05:00Imagine the places we would travel if we were able...Imagine the places we would travel if we were able to visit all the places we enjoy reading about! I'm not sure I would want to live in some of the places--or time periods, but it would be fun to visit.<br /><br />I am glad you enjoyed this one, Lisa. I did too. I know exactly what part you are talking about in regards to the lecture--I'd almost forgotten about it. It did seem to drag on a bit long, but I found it so interesting that I forgave the author for going off on a tangent that once.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-38333075226735099432010-03-20T21:33:05.523-05:002010-03-20T21:33:05.523-05:00Sounds like this book needed an editor to keep it ...Sounds like this book needed an editor to keep it on track!bookmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808845291761439603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-6582601933136744482010-03-18T23:12:52.088-05:002010-03-18T23:12:52.088-05:00I am so with you on needing to go visit these plac...I am so with you on needing to go visit these places!

A young chef serves on an Indian military base in war-torn Kashmir and struggles to come to terms with the personal devastation caused by the religious and military conflict between India and Pakistan.
