Captivating and beautiful

In this last year, we lost my wife’s grandma. She was a marvellous woman who adored reading. Every year for Christmas, we got her a book from the Booker Prize nominations... this year, was sad because I couldn’t choose her a book. In memory of her, I have decided each year to read the book that I would have bought for her. So with the help of my wife, this is the book I would have chosen.

It is a wonderful and captivating look at the life of Leila and I loved it. I don’t want to say much about it for fear of spoiling it, but this is one of the best written books I have read for a while. I recommend it to everyone!
