Blue Archipelago

This book will make you stop and think about how you interact with others, and whether you spend too much time focusing on yourself and not noticing the beautiful things that are happening in the world around us.

Before I Die is hands-down the best book I have read this year and I implore you to buy yourself a copy, and a box of tissues, and let me know what you think about this extraordinary, life affirming novel.

Hosseini once again weaves a masterpiece; set against the monstrosities of war is the tale of a mother daughter relationship which shows that love and hope will out in the end.

Both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time as this book covers the sister’s reaction to their mother’s death, and the resulting bond that ties them together much tighter than before.
