book I read and loved - The Playdate

Not always I get a book to read which keeps me engrossed till the last page ,thats what this book did to me,
right from the start till the last page I was so engrossed that it was difficult to keep down the book even for a second .I am talking about the book The Playdate by Louise Millar.

The main characters of the story are Callie and Suzy and the story is about them ,their children and the relationship they have with each other ,read this one for more.

book review - the saffron gate

When I started reading The Saffron gate

by Linda Holeman I didn't had any idea that I would be glued to the book till the last page it ,and that's what happened .I was so intrigued by the culture and life of the city of Marrakech   and by the character of Sidonie O Shea ,how she finds  the doctor who had left her in Newyork,and what's the secret which he is hiding from her.
.the book is captivating and mesmerised me with the vivid description of the beautiful city with rich detail about everything be it food,clothes ,architecture  and the lifetsyle.
