An interesting story, although I'm not convinced it lived up to the hype surrounding it.

Journal Entry 5 by Diane-Fraser at Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom on Wednesday, June 22, 2011

At the tender age of eighteen, Nazneen's life is turned upside down. In an arranged marriage with a man 20 years older she moves from her Bangladeshi village to a block of flats in the London's East End. She devotes her life to raising her family, however when she meets Karim they embark on an affair that finally forces Nazneen to take control of her life.

I enjoyed reading this book. I admit it isn't something I would normallychoose to read but I found it very interesting and thank NICNIC2 once more for the RABCK. Bookcrossing certainly ensures I don't stick to one genre anymore :)
