This Green and Pleasant Land by Ayisha Malik

4.0

Wonderful. The fact that I read it in a day speaks for itself. Brilliant characters. Made me laugh out loud (a tad maniacally) and also cry a fair bit. Didn't flinch away from some really serious, difficult things but the whole thing was softened by the sheer warmth of the writing. There were a few things which didn't feel all that realistic to me but not having lived in a village before, I'm not confident in that, and in any case it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the book.
