I had an opportunity to meet Heather tonight at a local library, where she was a guest speaker of Friends of the Library. I am really looking forward to reading her first book!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Completed this book in May and was surprised that I really enjoyed it - it's not historical! Taking place in Canada and Kenya, it was interesting to learn what it feels like to be in Kenya where no one seems to be safe and yet there is hope and a positive attitude! Ms Clark's debut novel CHAI TEA SUNDAY is going to well received, on many book club lists and talked about around the water cooler! The story is tender, beautiful, sad, and yet filled with hope! With no spoilers Nicky and her husband Eric are struggling with fertility issues; a devastating loss sends them both reeling. Eric retreats within himself and Nicky heads to Kenya to teach in an orphanage. It is here that her true journey begins. Pour a cup of Chai, snuggle in with a blanket and read away. This is book to get lost in.
What do You think about Chai Tea Sunday (2012)?
Weak read, sappy story. But it gave me a quick easy read for a few nights before sleep.

The weaknesses in the writing and dialogue are made up for by the power of the story.
