The Rooftop Garden

I wrote a review for the Miramichi Reader. Here is a sample of what I wrote.

The Rooftop Garden by Menaka Raman-Wilms is not a book I would normally pick up, but the plot intrigued me. The idea someone could be seduced into doing something out of character was an idea I wanted to explore. The novel promised to be a story of a young man or woman who's easily indoctrinated to go against their family values or the values of the society they've been raised in.
And here, the author doesn't disappoint. What I had hoped for, I got. Though the story of The Rooftop Garden is fictional, I'm reminded of something Salman Rushdie once said, “novels tell the truth.”

An excellent story of an unlikely pair.
