Bone and Bread by Saleema Nawaz
4.0
#5 of 5 for Canada Reads, and my favourite. The 5 titles are so different in the theme "starting over" that I find it difficult to compare them. The debates should prove to be very interesting.
The characters of Bone and Bread are complex and flawed and infinitely human. Their relationships are many-layered, just like real life. Sadhana is a self-absorbed princess who I wanted to strangle from her first drama as a teenager. I cannot imagine putting up with that behaviour for a lifetime. Consequently, Beena is the stereotypical martyr.
Another part of the reason I enjoyed this book ... Beena buys a home in LeBreton Flats in Ottawa, where I own my home. I imagined Beena and Quinn wandering my hood. :)
