Enjoying this one so much more than I anticipated.

Lindy It‘s been a long time, but I remember loving this when I read it. I‘ve gone on to read several more by Selvadurai since then. 💜 5y
SoniaC @Lindy I am just loving it. Would you recommend any of the others? 5y
Lindy @SoniaC This debut is actually my favourite. Cinnamon Gardens and Swimming in the Monsoon Sea are both okay, quieter than this one. I felt challenged by the honest anger in 5y

Listened to this on audible and it really is hard to get through. I can‘t imagine the pain, suffering and terror of those people on the top of Everest. Not to mention those behind helpless to do anything. Very intense listen.

Zelma I kept finding excuses to drive around just to keep listening to the audiobook on a vacation. (edited) 5y

Just finished this and can‘t wait to discuss it with @litsybookclub it was so good! Had me captivated from the start. Loved the characters and a hell of a story. Eve is a total badass!

Kathrin This one is next on my audio TBR. I am glad to read that you like it... I wasn't sure, if I would read this one, because I just finished a WWII book and there is only so much that I can take back to back on the topic. 5y
SoniaC @Kathrin it really spoke to me. I think it was because of how much I enjoyed the three main characters. The narrator is good so I‘m glad you got the audio. Hope you enjoy it. There is a lot of talk about war but hoped that doesn‘t detract from your enjoyment. 5y
Daisey @SoniaC @Kathrin I‘m about 3 hours from the end of the audio and agree it is so good! I really didn‘t want to stop listening when I got home from my drive this evening, but I will have to wait until tomorrow. 5y

I loved this story from the first time I read it. I was excited to see it had been done as a graphic novel. The artist really did justice to the story.

Another incredible yoga read. Between this book and the last yoga book I read they have motivated my chubby butt to get back on the mat! I highly recommend this book for anyone who believes they don‘t have a “yoga” body!

Started this one today for the @litsybookclub it sure starts out big!

Kathrin I just bought it on Audible because my library hold will not come through in time for the book club. 5y
SoniaC @Kathrin hope you‘re enjoying it. I‘m completely engrossed. 5y
Kathrin @SoniaC I am torn. On the one hand I can't put it down, but at the same time, I really find the torn storyline confusing. Also, I feel like she is packing every single issue around abortion into the story. 5y
SoniaC @Kathrin it does feel like she is loading the story with issues. I think she didn‘t leave a single thing out. 5y

This is a beautifully written but in many ways devastating book. I loved the unique way of storytelling but it‘s very heavy at points.

BookNAround I listened to this one in the car and was so grateful I‘d read something about the restarting over and over again or I might have thought the audio was glitchy! But it was an amazing book to listen to and really highlighted Atkinson‘s intentional repetition. 5y
SoniaC @BookNAround oh I bet it was interesting on audio! 5y
