Patricia is a lonely child with cold parents; a
domineering father and a weak mother and she craves love. Kalden is a restless
young man, he has learned English from his missionary friends and fallen in
love with books and music and he wants more but he is fated as a fourth son to
join the monastery. When Patricia travels to Ladakh with her father to research
his book she and Kalden meet and fall in love but society and their families
are against the union, it is 1962 and when Patricia falls pregnant she is
forced to give the baby away. 30 years later her daughter is seeking
answers. This is a really enjoyable page
turner with a thrilling story.
A tale of love lost and found; of parents and children;
of duty and responsibility and of the contrast between cultures and between
past and present. A terrific debut.
Sounds like a good read; thanks for sharing :-)
