![]() ![]() But I feel this is a great and quick read for this looking for something light and fluffy and love the autumn time. ![]() Maybe I loved this book more because autumn is my favourite time of the year or that I loved Kristina Springer's The Espressologist? Maybe. I think the fact that this is set on a farm made me fee more connected, because I've always loved the farm atmosphere and how you always feel like family.Ĭan I just say that I loved how her cousin's name is Milan? When I don't like the main character it takes me a while to get into it. It had me connected from the first paragraph and I knew I liked Jamie instantly, which helped me love this book. This is one of my favourite books because I loved the plot, the characters and the setting. This is what I originally had when I wrote this in 2013, think I'll leave it as is. Even though I knew the ending I was entertained the entire time as I kind of forgot plot points in the middle. Let me just say that I enjoyed this so much the second time around. Originally read this sometime in 2012 before I joined Goodreads. ![]()

Rao was supposed to collapse soon - if not under his advancing age, then from pressure from multiple sources. The country faced a financial crisis of unprecedented proportion (gold had to be pawned to raise money), and militancy was squeezing the life out of Punjab. Although he had won many elections, he wasn’t the type to set the stage on fire - Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, who had worked closely with him, once said Rao had the “charisma of a dead fish”. The party that had selected him to head the national Government owed its allegiance to 10, Janpath and saw him as a stop-gap arrangement. His track record as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (then undivided) and many years later as Union Cabinet Minister was mediocre.
