oh so good :’) from the start we learn about the death of the main character’s husband Nathan and along the way you learn about their journey together, from the beginning to the very last seconds and on. it’s a wonderfully written story with such beautiful language and one of the best school reads i’ve ever had. at some points however, the story is a bit slow and repetitive because there is few changes to Rukmani and Nathan’s life at the time but overall an enjoyable read. There is a lot of imagery and symbolism throughout the book making it a great contender for a school read. I most likely will not be reading this novel again, due to my lack of interest in the setting but the characters are well developed and I do not regret picking up this book for school :)
