A Suitable Boy

I'll stick with it but Indian love stories of that period all have the same format: Hindu girl falls for muslim boy (or vice versa) and I then spend the rest of the drama trying to remember who's who.

I enjoyed it, but then I enjoy Indian cinema ( Bollywood ) and can see that there's going to be conflict of religions etc here between two people who love each other. What beautiful people, with their looks.

Quite enjoyed this first episode. Will carry on watching.

{hmm] not sure what I think of it yet, I will give it time to develop. I did read a couple of chapters of the book a long time ago, put it down and didn't pick it up again for some reason and don't have any memory of the bits I did read. Clearly from last night a tale of star crossed lovers is to unfold as is a whole lot of trouble as to the building of the temple adjacent to the mosque. I didn't realise that there was a Muslim presence in India after the partition, they were brave to stay on there after the terrible violence of what took place a few years before the book was set.

Love the sitar, thought that was a fantastic piece of music towards the end, George Harrison had the right idea when he embraced that instrument, very haunting and evocative of India.

I'm saving it. Love the novel so hope its not a let down.

Afraid I was bored and did nod off I will watch on my iPad this afternoon in case I m being unkind here and jumping the gun but what I saw I didn’t enjoy much and I was looking forward to it
