The following is a conversation I just had via Twitter with a person who reviewed “Figs & Pomegranates & Special Cheeses.” The end result is permission to include the review here on my blog.

Mona: I’ve been reviewed on American Amazon and on British Amazon. I think this is the first time I’ve been reviewed on Indian (?) Amazon. Would it be OK with you if I posted your review on my blog where more people would see it? And am I right that it’s Indian? Thanks
Shraesta: You are right I’m an Indian. I’m honored if you post my review on your blog. Happy to have such an author. Loads and tonnes of love to you and your book.
This review is from: Figs & Pomegranates & Special Cheeses: A Love Story (Kindle Edition)

Aside from being pleased with this review and permission to repeat it here, I can’t help commenting on my admiration for people of different native languages who can read and enjoy in one not their own. Would that we Americans were so able.
