| Again, let me read the books on the Bibliography list instead of the novel itself. Please don't distort history in an effort to make it your own invention. Write so that you may leave out the confessional after the last chapter! I discovered, there, that every little "great" bit of prose and even many the plot ideas came from somewhere or someone else. I enjoyed picturesque Ethiopia but found the thousands of medical references way too much. Take all of the above out of the book and you have a short coming-of-age story about a set of twins, heads separated at birth, their lives as half-Indian expats in Africa, and about love and sacrifice, misunderstanding and miscommunication. |
