I need to combine it with other two paperbacks in order to profit from a 3x2 offer. Maybe Tea Obreht's book (she's coming to a festival in Italy in September and it would be nice to have read her book when I'll go to the reading).<br /><br />The few pages of "The Memory of Love" that I read reminded me of Adichie's "Half of a Yellow Sun", but maybe it was just suggestion because they are both about war.Stefania - The Italian Backpackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208023950547260256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-86040111359954067012010-05-12T08:45:17.015+00:002010-05-12T08:45:17.015+00:00Hmm I haven't heard of this and there are more...Hmm I haven't heard of this and there are more books I have never heard of but I would keep an eye for this. This book promises to be a good book and a good read. I would check it out and perhaps review it on this blog....not a promise though....ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-88688890864409828182010-05-11T19:19:40.121+00:002010-05-11T19:19:40.121+00:00novels like this that track the psychological cons...novels like this that track the psychological consequences of war are fascinating and provide a lot of opportunity for some rich character development. a recent favorite of mine along these lines is Sasa Stanisic's WHEN THE SOLDIER REPAIRED THE GRAMOPHONE, about the Bosnian war. i like the looks of this one too!Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.com
