Tara Road - Good in parts.

This is a kind of book that you can read with a cup of tea on a boring day.
While i was reading the first few chapters i thought the book was regular fare and after that i felt it was going to be depressing but surprisingly when i finished the book none of the feelings lingered. It doesn't leave you with much impact , well nothing really and i dont like that in a book.

The book is by Maeve Binchy. And is mostly about Ria Lynch who meets, falls in love, marries in hurry, becomes mom in succession, gets heart-broken, falls out of love and rediscovers herself in that order.
Marilyn a women with disintegrating marriage after the accidental death of her son, who lives in America and Ria , who is in Ireland exchange homes and this brings the happy ending.

I know tear jerker soap opera stuff. But while reading it seems OK. Mostly because of Binchy's writing , she doesnt comment too much on the characters, they are just characters living in the book.

I heard there was a movie in the same name. Havent seen yet. Anyway i dont think the movie will be good.

I have seen 'The Holiday' though. when i read the book it was kinda i was watching the movie in reverse situation sometimes, so many similarities. You know Kate Winslet from England Cameron Diaz from America (A house with a pool ... GOD!).
And Cameron falling for the brother of Kate and Ria falling for the brother of Greg (Marilyn's husband) and Kate ending up with Jack Blacks character ( A friend of Cameron) like Marilyn ending up with Colm (Ria's friend AWW..)

So this was the bad book i mentioned about in my previous blog, although i wouldnt say its bad its FINE, just fine.
