The Kashmir Shawl by Rosie Thomas
5.0
This is my first book by Rosie Thomas and I I am impressed beyond words. I don't know if it's the story on her writing style but what ever does I just know I loved it and I am ready to read more of her books. The cover of this book and all of a book are stunning.
In 1938, young bride Nerys Watkins accompanies her missionary husband on a posting to India. Up in Srinagar, the British live on beautiful wooden houseboats and dance and gossip as if there is no war. But when the men are sent away to fight Nerys is caught up in a dangerous friendship.
Years later, when Mair Ellis clears out her father’s house, she finds an antique shawl with a lock of child’s hair wrapped up in its folds. Tracing her grandparents’ roots back to Kashmir, Mair uncovers a story of great love and great sacrifice
The story was heartwarming. all the essence of writing are well presented in this book. The story was beautiful and intriguing. All the things are well explained and totally detailed.
