Sophie Kinsella is world renown for her Shopaholic's series

and brings another chick lit to you with the same comedy and romantic style!

Summary:

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don’t get visited by ghosts. Or do they?

When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie–a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance–mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she’s just been dumped by the “perfect” man.

Sadie, however, could care less.

Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common. But as the mission to find Sadie’s necklace leads to intrigue and a new romance for Lara, these very different “twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from each other along the way. Written with all the irrepressible charm and humor that have made Sophie Kinsella’s books beloved by millions, Twenties Girl is also a deeply moving testament to the transcendent bonds of friendship and family.

Review:

Another favourite of mine!

If you liked Becky Bloomwood, you will definitely enjoy Lara Lington!

The story is a fantastic blend of romance, cozy mystery, and chick-lit, and is 100% laugh out loud funny.

The Zahir

Paulo Coelho's The Zahir: A Review

A Story of Dark Obsession and Re-birth

Aug 22, 2009 Ingrid Calderon

Brazilian Author Paulo Coelho takes us on a voyage through the historic streets of Paris and the dunes of Kazakhstan in his novel The Zahir. The story begins with a famous journalist’s narrating perspective about his wife’s disappearance, making him the prime suspect. The mystery behind her disappearance becomes an instant obsession that leads him into an inward spiral. Unable to go on as he had before, he begins to examine where he went wrong in his marriage. In between trying to find answers and dealing with his constant affairs both extra-marital and professional, his life and career begin to make less and less sense. With traces of obsession, fame and the rigid possibility of forgiving oneself, the story presents concrete options on how to lose oneself in order to find oneself.

The Zahir's Plot and Design

From the opening chapter, Paulo Coelho introduces the reader to three important characters. There is Esther his wife, Mikhail an unidentified male and himself as the narrator. As the husband to the missing war correspondent Esther, he becomes the main suspect. After identifying his whereabouts, he is set free. Now a free man, he wanders the streets of Paris reminiscing and questioning his wife’s disappearance. He quickly becomes obsessed with what he calls The Zahir , which is derived from an Islamic tradition, Zahir in Arabic, means unable to go unnoticed, someone or something, once in contact, occupies our every thought. This state of mind could be considered holy or maddening.
