@ Aparna where have you reached. ? Do you think Daniel to be a a bit precocious. ? Do you like Clara? I am in the 14th chapter.



Hope you remembered to pick up your son. :P


I LOVED Fermin. He was just too good and added the much needed lightness to this book.



@ Aparna I am halfway through it and it is becoming more entangled with each chapter.
@ Gehna(view spoiler)


Am right by your side!

Fast :D
There was this part about Nuria (I think that was the name) which I really liked in this book :)

Did you read that part about Julian friend? The other friend not Penelope's brother. I don't remember his name :P

Did you read that part about Julian friend? The other friend not Penelope's brother. I don't rememb..."
Yes Miquel. 4 stars.

Aparna, I was talking about Miquel :)"
Gehna,
I liked the part about Miquel and Nuria Monfort..The letter she wrote to daniel was very heartfelt..



But being of a suspicious mind I had doubts about Fermin too.At one time I thought he was Clara's father.
Should we use spoiler tag for discussions
since both of us have finished?

Ohh..is it?..I didnt really think in those lines at first..but I did feel curious as to why Sophie and Aldaya were discussing so much in detail about julian's future..
I can see why you felt that way about Fermin..I think the writer wanted to plant a suspicion about Fermin in the minds of the readers.I remember reading the part where daniel's dad is asking if they really know who Fermin is ..as in his real name and stuff after the murder of nuria monfort.
The part about Fumero being Julian's childhood friend was a real surprise for me though..

what do u think?..did u have any particular favorite character in mind ?



Nedumidi Venu is a fantastic actor!!.M a great fan of malayalam cinema..it was almost like a sunday afternoon routine in our place during my college years to watch malayalam movie with my parents :)
I agree with you, Fumero's character has been nicely portrayed.The anger and spite he develops over a period of time hits us hard..
I was wondering what would have julian done differently if he would have known the truth about penelope being his sister.
I think he would have destroyed himself and the desire to write again would have been completely lost..what are your thoughts?

So, If you want to start that after this discussion is done, I am all set :)

Did you like Daniel's father? I especially liked the part where Fermin asks Daniel whether he will ever be as good a father as Daniel's is.
Did you note that all the three friends Julian, Miquel and Fumero are bound by their ties all throughout their life? Even Nuria who enters their life is tied to all three.

I liked Daniel's father ..In the beginning I got a feeling that his character was going to be like Atticus Finch (To kill a mockingbird) but then it went a little downhill, He was mostly in the dark and not aware of the happenings..Would have loved to hear his advise to his son during the testing times that daniel went through..
