I was hoping it would be a bit more like Lahiri's work. <br /><br />Trish - Actually I got it from a book list created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (creator of Gilmore Girls). She listed her 60 favorite classic novels and 60 favorite newer releases in it. I've been slowly reading books off of it for years and have found so many that I love! I should post about it some time.

I had absolutely no interest in how it would end, which is a shame, because it is a book I very much wanted to enjoy.
