Book: Girl

Author: Maria Straw -Çinar

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

• 

Girl written by Maria Straw -Çinar is a riveting tale about lost innocence and a girls struggle for freedom. Very rarely I come across novels that make use of poetic language in a fiction. I enjoyed reading this story aloud. This book carries the readers around the world with the girl Mannis. If alchemy, long journeys, different countries, poetry are of your interest then pick this novel. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

The main thing that captured my attention in this novel is author’s strong command on language. Cover photo of the book and the title looks according to the story. Author has used good vocabulary and I had to refer dictionary many times.

Please be advised that story has mature content also. I even learnt some French words like Vive! La France! This book also helped me to understand different cultures. I appreciate author’s vast interest in diversity. This is a strong feminist novel that I like to recommend to all girls and women.

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

• 

“50 Rules of Life: Blueprint for a Meaningful Existence” penned by the author Stephen Muzira is a must read book. If you are a kinda person who is passionate about self-development then you should definitely read this book. It is a self-help memoir in which the author has shared about his life as well as self-development rules of life.

One very valuable rule that I have learnt from this book is “Be grateful for the blessings in your life”. Many times while chasing the things we want, we forget how blessed we are as compared to others. I have felt the basic law of reciprocity in my life when I wasn’t grateful for what I had. After losing those things, I learnt their value.

If you are looking for an answer to the question of “How to live a meaningful life” then you shouldn’t miss to get your hands on this amazing book. This book is a wake up call and it inspires readers to live their best life. I have written many important points from this book in my journal for quick reference in future l. Grateful to the author for sharing about his life experiences and lessons with us.
