A novel I read recently about race in US (and Africa) by an African woman--great different POV: Americanah Novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver The Ibis Trilogy by Amitav Ghosh which I had been waiting for the third one to be published and it came from the library the day I was leaving for a two week vacation this summer--a perfect event.It takes place mainly in the lead up to the Opium Wars between England (and it's proxy India) and China. The first one which has an amazing sea journey which focuses on the language of the sailors (lascars) which in itself is worth the time spent reading it. The plot of characters and the historical fiction and descriptions of India and Canton are icing on the cake. The first book is called Sea of Poppies. (I like to read about different cultures.) As for me, right now I'm looking at a lot of photo books. Saul Leiter, Richard Kalvar, Alex Webb. So little time...
