The Reading List

 

The Reading ListThe Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Books have the power to heal .” Simply stated, that is the theme of the book. Aleisha finds a reading list tucked into the back of a book:
The Time Traveler’s Wife
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Kite Runner
Life of Pi
Pride and Prejudice
Little Women
Beloved
A Suitable Boy
Working their way through the list and discussing the books helps Mukesh connect with Aleisha and with his granddaughter. These books help heal him and bring joy back into his life after the death of his wife.
I really enjoyed this sweet novel, the characters, and how it illustrated the power books have to heal and to bring people together. The audio version is very well done.
