so-soAfter Kalyani's mother dies, she sets out for a Himalayan village in Kashmir. Certain that her mother's death is connected to the decade-old disappearance of Bashir Ahmed, a charming Kashmiri salesman, Kalyani decides to confront him.
The characters didn't stay with me, but there were some moments, some scenes that did. The writing was good. I also loved the character development and how plot unfolded. Was a little underwhelming though.
3.5/5🌟
so-soThe romantic plot was a bit eye-rolling and obvious, and the supporting characters felt one-dimensional, but I loved the Irish village setting and the magical realism element. This was my #ReadOrDonate pick for March. Definitely donating it.

so-soAnother #Afrikaans read for me...
I struggled a bit with the writing style and pacing of this one. At times nothing seems to happen, and the everything happens all at once.
I would however be interested in reading more of Venter's work, as it was so different form the usual Mystery/Romance I'm used to.

pickAnother riveting compilation of shot stories each showing us a bit more of the man behind the white hare and wolf medallion.
I especially enjoyed the last two stories, but I'm bais because I love Ciri. I adore her feisty sprite and determination.
I am however now more than ready to be done with the short stories and be immersed in a full length novel
