Her novel, Rest Haroow, is very quiet and contemplative and rather bookish, so it is a favourite of mine, but one which I'm not sure many other readers would find as wonderful as I do. The one I usually consider my favourite of hers is The Green Library, which I remember as being very poignant and moving, but I've lost most of the details of the story. So glad you enjoyed this one!Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-71469960245308186082017-08-14T13:22:27.619+08:002017-08-14T13:22:27.619+08:00Amongst all immigrant communities the struggle to ...Amongst all immigrant communities the struggle to conform to known practices and then to adapt to the new is always full of conflict.

Especially women, if they don't work, can be very isolated and not exposed to the new country.Lisbeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/00466904375353041610noreply@blogger.com
