Funny how we find great books. This one was reviewed in my alumni magazine. I loved the way the setting, pace of life and religion seeped in around the edges of the central story. Indeed, it feels like a story that couldn't exist in any other place in the world.
Although there are a few abrupt moments, it is gentle, human and loving. The ache of longing for a child, and the need to save someone else's child from pain are all too beautifully drawn.
The sanctity of the dressing room and shop and the way women talk and treat each other and observe, sometimes critically, always with love and empathy. I wish I could buy my bras there.
