![]() In fact, right now, I am sitting here like this: I am not entirely sure what to say about A Bride’s Story. Stand alone or series: First volume in an ongoing series Coping with cultural differences, blossoming feelings for her new husband, and expectations from both her adoptive and birth families, Amir strives to find her role as she settles into a new life and a new home in a society quick to define that role for her. We’ll give our opinions regarding the book, then we’ll ask YOU to join in.Īcclaimed creator Kaoru Mori (Emma, Shirley) brings the nineteenth-century Silk Road to lavish life, chronicling the story of Amir Halgal, a young woman from a nomadic tribe betrothed to a twelve-year-old boy eight years her junior. We’re treating this review as a straight-up, simple review with Ana’s and Thea’s takes. This month’s OSW Readalong pick is A Bride’s Story by Kaoru Mori. In March 2013, we asked YOU for your favorite old school suggestions – and the response was so overwhelmingly awesome, we decided to compile a goodreads shelf, an ongoing database, AND a monthly readalong/book club. What better way to snap out of a reading fugue than to take a mini-vacation into the past? ![]() We came up with the idea towards the end of 2012, when both Ana and Thea were feeling exhausted from the never-ending inundation of New and Shiny (and often over-hyped) books. Old School Wednesdays is a weekly Book Smuggler feature. ![]()
