As Cary commented above re the shift of the author at the end, I totally agree. This is a talented author and I appreciated reading the perspectives in the story re this area and culture.
I will be driving on Thurs and regret that I will miss hearing responses.
I do appreciate this group and the open environment created here w/ Rebecca leading us. I too would not have known of many of the titles chosen or proposed , so that is very valuable to me. Thanks to all involved.
This was the best bookclub discussion that I’ve been to so far. I appreciate being in this group led by Rebecca. Looking forward to more like this.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Ellen. Hope to see you again next month :)
Just finished this book, another really good selection…..
It’s another book I probably would not have chosen on my own; really enjoyed it, thank you.

The story shows that no matter what continent one is on, family can be difficult. I just got the book from the library so need to catch up with everyone. Writing is quick paced with good character development, even if I don’t like the character like Uncle Pious.
I enjoyed this book. It touches on many of the concern faced by women in third world countries. Afi grew up in poverty, experienced being essentially sold to appease families. The fact that she didn’t cower was refreshing.
