water - bapsi sidhwa

Nice variety, Wendy!
Love that you have some Vonnegut in there! He's a fave of mine.
 
Oh yeah, hes one of my faves too!

I just finished Water by Bapsi Sidhwa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_(2005_film)

It was alright. Generally, I am not that interested in books that take place in India. Mostly because I find it hard to keep track of the vocabulary, but this one wasn't bad!

I read that the movie is a lot more emotional than the book, so I think I will see if the movie store has it!
 
Deepa Mehta is a very well-respecyed director and I heard very good things about that film.
