I thou...I finished Cloudwish a couple of days ago. I thought it was really good. And I'm not even the target audience.Some of the things I really liked about the book: having a non-Caucasian female protagonist was refreshing; I loved that Van Uoc was intelligent, hard-working and a very nice person. Of course, the whole immigrant/refugee scenario is very current, so it was really good reading about it. Fiona Wood did a great job humanising the "boat people" (I abhor this term!). I for one, love third-person narrations. Not having read any other novels by Fiona Wood, I had no idea that she employed the first person narrative in her previous works.me off the 1st person narrations). I also enjoyed the social commentary about the haves and have-nots, about the rich and not-so-rich.<br /><br />So I hope the novel does well. <br /><br />I also want to mention the cover;I thought it was really cute!

Great questions and answers! I never know how to comment to interview posts, but I did read it all and found it to be really thoughtful. I'll definitely keep these, especially the first few answers, in mind when I finally do get around to reading Cloudwish.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.com
