Book in very good condition. >>> There are books that you fall in love with, books you enjoy so much that you do not want them to end. Books that capture your imagination and do not let go long after the last page, so that, even though you are an avid reader, you do not want to open another book because no other will match the beauty, the magnificence of the one you've just finished. Books whose characters you do not want to part with, just yet. Sharon Maass 'Of Marriageable Age' is one such book. Spanning three continents and five decades, this is a colorful tapestry woven with words, the descriptions so breath-taking that they create an instant sense of place. Maass mastery over language is such that we experience each event along with the characters. I reveled in the joy and bustle of Stabroek Market, Guiana, with Saroj and her mother. I roamed the grounds of Fairwinds, India, with Savitri. I despaired of the flood that almost washed away his village in Madras with Nat. I felt for Savitri, riled against the constraints imposed by a dictatorial father along with Saroj and I enjoyed life with Nat. Three stories, three lives coming together in a spectacular crescendo, this book is an epic of vast scope.
