Gardens of Water
By Drew Alan
A devastating earthquake near Istanbul disrupts the lives of two families, one Muslim and one Christian American. Dealing with their losses very differently, the two families come to understand that though they are culturally different, it is possible to gain some understanding of each other when their lives intertwine in ways they never expected. The writing is emotionally stunning as the family members each look for and long for their version of a perfect Heaven. Remiscent of Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns - I love this book. Great for bookclubs. New this month--It is a Book Sense pick for February.. $25.00 Reviewed by Susan Richmond |
