What amazed me—what captivated me—is Lahiri’s use of simplistic prose to create a vivid and beautiful picture. Her artistic strokes are much the same as a classical painter creating his masterpiece. In every brush is beauty and in the whole, magnificent.
I didn’t always read, but that changed in June of 2013. I dropped the unnecessary stuff and picked up the awesome stuff–like reading! I started posting my reviews on Amazon.com and within a few months rose to the top 0.1% of reviewers. My reviews then went to Goodreads, and now my blog and Twitter.
