Book: Two Lives
Jan. 6th, 2006 11:51 amAuthor: Vikram Seth

Verdict: Two Lives is an interesting and personal memoir.
Reasons for reading it: I wouldn't normally read something so similar straight after A tale of love and darkness, but I had been planning to read Two Lives for ages and the library finally got it for me. So I had to read it before its return date as there is a long queue (which is why it took months to get to me in the first place!)
How it came into my hands: The village library, who are helpful and lovely (and when I went to return it today there was a whole queue of people waiting impatiently outside the door for the library to open)!
( detailed review )
If you read historical memoirs at all, I do recommend Two Lives.
