The book
R.k.'s style of writing is one the most astounding ones i have ever seen.With just one book, i own,he has impressed me deep within.The story line is very simple,plain yet the emotional punch that comes,is so strong that it hits u well. This is s story of a English teacher,the impact his married life and fatherhood has and his transition from bachelorhood to these new responsibilities.It also tracks his spiritual side.
A good book,a must read.
