2 posts | 2 read
A Literary Fiction, contemporary DEBUT novel. Recommended for fans of Sense and Sensibility, The Forty Rules of Love, and A Walk To Remember. Two strangers on the same path. Survivors. Companions. They will be each other's salvation. On a rainy, winter night, a mysterious woman in a red dress seeking shelter comes inside the restaurant Kabir was busy working in --primarily the bar-- and night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to the same spot. That is where he sees her for the first time. Hundreds of patrons around her try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. It appears she wants to remain in a blissful peace alone with her booze and books. After seeing the mysterious woman reading a book, and because of his shy nature, Kabir gains entrance into her life by anonymously leaving books with notes for her. The Name of Red is the story of two strangers, two different personalities who meet on a winter, rainy night who challenge each other. They have a connection which blossoms into a friendship due to their fondness of books. But they both have secrets that can bind them together or threaten their newfound relationship forever.

This is an intriguing story about a dazzling woman, donned Red, who just happens to walk into a bar one night... and steal a heart.

I really enjoyed this book, and its a genre that I haven‘t knowingly come across before: Asian American Literature. I found it very thought provoking. I also loved the two main characters and learning about their culture and how they see their world. It has been subtly written.
My rating: 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
