Admittedly, I’m drawn to stories about South Asian characters and exploring themes that seem to fly with such characters. I was reading the story Our Lady of Paris by Daniyal Mueenuddin and wanted to see what other people thought. If you care to, read the story, and then tell me what you think.

Oh, this is a half distraction because I haven’t read the whole story yet. I’m a slow reader and I have to study for final exams.

I promise, though, that when someone does comment, I’ll promptly read the story in full. Click here for story please.

Sorry but it wasn’t my favorite. A little too much wealthy Pakistani industrialists, the Seine, Paris, Yale, New Haven, London, the French countryside chalets. Way too much.

I have to agree, though there were parts i liked, for instance the candy scene and how they react to each other afterwards.

If you havent already, check out Brick Lane by Monica Ali. She’s a skillful narrator, may be better than Lahiri. I’m in the middle of it now.

Something to say?
