Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, so I'm taking AP World History, and I chose this book for my summer reading. If you're around my age, you won't really enjoy this book. Trust me, I like reading, and this book doesn't come close to being one of my most favorite, or even one I would reccomend. It's basically too dull, and there really isn't anything in this book that's gripping.... (meaning, it doesn't hold your attention.) In other words, it's too boring. You can explain this book in less than 5 sentences. It starts out with a girl who has an arranged marriage with a guy name Nathan. They have many kids, and live off of everything they grow at the house. When time gets rough, the family hardly can survive, and sometimes have to live days without food. Many of the family members die, or move off somewhere else for better oppurtunities.
This book isn't the type that wants you to keep reading. It's that type where you just want it to end. The only good thing I can say is that it is easy to read, it's not complex or hard to understand at all, it's just really simple.
Summary of Nectar in a Sieve (Signet Classics)
Named Notable Book of 1955 by the American Library Association, this is the very moving story of a peasant woman in a primitive village in India whose whole life was a gallant and persistent battle to care for those she loved."Comparable in many ways to Cry, the Beloved Country...if anything...better." (Saturday Evening Post)
