1.What do you think of voluntary euthanasia? Are you for or against it? Why? Do you have empathy for Dava making this decision?
2. Dava got pregnant by her boyfriend and then broke up with him when she went to study in England. She didn’t know she was pregnant until she was 6 months along. What do you think of that? Can you be that ignorant of your body and its changes?
Dava Shastri’s Last Day pulled me in right away with its beautiful book cover and the book jacket blurb. It was a promising start and I hoped it would continue to entice me.
I really enjoyed this book and here’s why you should check it out!
Debut author Kirthana Ramisetti did a marvelous job in keeping me entertained.
Having read Pachinko by Min Jin Lee a few years back, I remembered that I enjoyed it but couldn’t remember the details as it has been awhile. I was glad to re-read this book to see if I liked it as much as the first time around.
I must admit, the second time around was better!! Not sure if it was because I listened to the book this time around. My hectic life with the kids has meant that I do a lot of audio books rather than reading the book physically. Regardless, I gave Pachinko and extra 1/2 star from last time.
