Why I picked this one?
I haven't read a thriller piece since long. I was usually liking the titles suggested by Sonali so thought of giving this a try.
What this book is about?
This is about a woman who went to Havana for a film festival where she found her dead husband. The story goes in all directions, from she following him to find out what is the truth, to she reminiscing her past from marriage, to small incidents from her lone trips, to childhood events.
Feelings during the reading
It started good and easy, but gets all muddled up in the mid, and end was totally not clear to me. May be I have to read the third part of the book again to understand what actually happened. In the middle it becomes very confusing if she is hallucinating or dreaming or the events are happening for real. For example I couldn't understand if she really saw and met here dead husband or was it hallucination or anything. Similarly, her memories about marriage sounded of a dead marriage since the birth of it, and there was never any reason behind it.
Feelings after the reading
Thank the God, it is over! Empty, confused, and in no desire to re-read even parts of it to understand it more.
Characters I'd like to remember
Isa. The simple, unaware receptionist, living in her own simple world.
Quote that will stay with me
...as though history was not being rewritten all the time.
