Too Deep for Tears by Kathryn Lynn Davis Book Review


Too deep For Tears by Kathryn Lynn Davis review written by Sarafina Robi.
 Too deep for tears by Kathryn Lynn Davis is a sensual romantic novel, with beautiful historic details.

It was written shortly after the Renaissance period (I love refereeing to this times) that's in the 1800s. its about three sisters, one father and three different exotic mothers from different ends of the world, whose lives are woven back to one point. It a tapestry of cultures brought out by their father through their different mothers. Their story? ...Lets take a sip of water, its sad, its emotionally draining, keeps you hooked from beginning to end but most importantly..(you should read to know how it ends).

Their dad is a an English diplomat who first falls in love with a Scottish beauty, due to drastic saddening events that happen he ends up moving to china where he falls in love with a lady and gets his second child, then India and gets the third child but ends up returning to the beautiful hills of Scotland. the peaceful glen and to his first lover.

The most fascinating stories are those of his daughters and how they end up meeting.

This book took me to the beautiful hills of Scotland, China, India and back to Scotland. Taught me the beauty of the hills( specially an enclosed glen), the homely croft at Mairi's and I enjoyed the poems in it.

Every delicate stroke of ink would remind me of it.

I cant name all the characters but it is a beauty.
This was my 6th book of the year, and I just felt like writing something about it after I ran into it while looking for a book to read in my collection and it gave me memories, of how I felt while reading it.
If you've read it too share your views in the comment box and any recommendations of books I can read.

We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabriel Union-Book Review

We're Going to Need More Wine I finished reading this beautiful book at 11.14pm on 2 nd of April, Kenny Rogers’ song called lady is playing in my earphones, followed by Dolly Patrons I will always Love you. The feeling you get after finishing it, is that of calmness. It’s as though you’ve been having a conversation with Gabriel or rather Nickie Union. I must say my biggest attraction to reading it apart from being recommended to by a friend, was the beautiful cover and the title, contrary to the saying don’t judge a book by its cover. A few pages into the book, I really couldn’t get what the fuss about the book was. For in the beginning, Gabriel talks about her childhood, and I can’t relate at all. A friend of mine called Boyani, posts it in her WhatsApp status and am wondering is it just me or are our tastes different, I ask her and she tells me I should continue reading for it only gets juicier. I then meet another friend of mine called Bilhah, she cal...

The Secret lives of Baba Segi's wives

The Secret lives of Baba Segi's Wives by Lola Shoneyin. The book The Secret Lives of Baba Segis Wives  is a tapestry of cultural representations that happen in deeply rooted African homes. Lola Shoneyin, the author, keeps it African and funny from the word go. Baba Segi is the typical African man who boasts of having a nursery of children, many wives who he clearly doesn't know how to please besides being blessed immensely by a third leg. He married a fourth wife who is the only university graduate among all the rest. This pretty lass, faces shame like she has never seen before.Reason being she cant bear a child yet all the other three wives are blessed with children. Misery loves company, is all we can say about the other three women. Later on it turns out they all had a secret that they were determined to keep at the expense of the graduate woman's life.Fate has it that one of their children dies instead. what a twist. its sad.I shed a tear at this point. ...

THE KITE RUNNER BY KHALED HOSSEINI BOOK REVIEW

It’s past midnight, 2am in the night, there is a 1.25 liters soda half drunk on the table and an empty plate; when I finish reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Apart from the whizzing sound from the fridge, the night is silent and very dark. The Christmas weather is aloof so it’s very cold. Despite this, the book I have just finish has some of the darkest parts the night is yet to show the world. Without giving any spoilers I would say I love the ending. The first time it was recommended to me it was by a good friend called Bilha or as she calls herself on Instagram, the Electric lady. This was many moons ago when I had just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author and it tore my heart open, scattered all the pieces and I am yet to find some. I cried so much I have no simile to portray the actual pain I felt reading it. When I wrote a review about it she told me I should look for the Kite Runner, same feeling. I bought it and had it on my shelf for a c...
