The Warmth of Other Suns reviewed by @the_slow_reader

Three lives, six decades, and I never once wanted her to hurry. Since three years I've been looking for it in Spanish and can't find it anywhere! My mother would sit with this all winter.

After Warmth of Other Suns I'd have followed her anywhere, and the India and Germany chapters earn their place. But the framework gets stretched until it snaps, and the pillars structure does not survive contact with an argumentative reader.
