RE: Homecoming : Books Collection Part 2
Hi @mytravelandscape :)
Happy Tuesday to you!
I wish the author had provided more details, avoiding a rushed conclusion. This is especially disappointing for readers who followed Bima's journey from the beginning, hoping for a more detailed account of his eventual happiness.
hmmm yes - I think I would find this somewhat frustrating too! Like you are left hanging in limbo... Is it perhaps possible that the author may write a continuance?
It has been many years since I read a fiction story. These days, if I do manage to read anything between two covers... it is normally non-fiction, motivational or inspirational stuff - but if I am completely honest, I actually struggle to read at all now, because I find that I start falling asleep after the first or second paragraph lol!
I have six novels by an author called Lucinda Riley. She was my late moms favourite author. On her 71st birthday and just a month before she passed, we bought her the six books as her birthday present, to give her something to take her mind off her health, but sadly she only ever got as far as the first few pages in the first book.
So now, I have all the books and I keep looking at them every time I walk past my bookshelf... they are asking me to read them. One day I will :)
Honestly, if i remember correctly i even DM the Author Twitter account asking for the sequel. But she said she doesn't know if there will be a sequel..the book cover said that this story based on True Story..
today while at flight i read again this novel instead of playing with my phone. And now i feel different with the last time i read this book..maybe because now I'm a dad like the main character..it give me motivation to learn about how to be a cool dad for my son.
Sometimes when reading a novel or fictional story, i put my self in Main Character story. And think, if the same situation happened to me in real world, how do i react..by Comparing my self and MC of the fiction make me recognize my self more..but doesn't mean that i should react the same like in the story.
I hope you find time to start reading the Book from your mother favorite author..
That is even more reason to want to hear "more"! :D
It is amazing how our perspective toward the same thing can change as the years move on!
I think if an author is successful in getting a reader to do that - then it is indeed a great story!
Thank you @mytravelandscape
