96 Words for Love
Autor Rachel Roy, Ava Dash Cuvânt înainte de James Patterson Soneela Nankanien CD-Audio – 4 feb 2019
Ever since her acceptance to UCLA, 17-year-old Raya Liston has been quietly freaking out. She feels simultaneously lost and trapped by a future already mapped out for her.
Then her beloved grandmother dies, and Raya jumps at the chance to spend her last free summer at the ashram in India where her grandmother met and fell in love with her grandfather. Raya hopes to find her center and her true path. But she didn't expect to fall in love... with a country of beautiful contradictions, her fiercely loyal cousin, a local girl with a passion for reading, and a boy who teaches her that in Sanskrit, there are 96 different ways to say the word "love."
A modern retelling of the classic Indian legend of Shakuntala and Dushyanta,96 Words for Loveis a coming-of-age story about finding yourself in unexpected places.
