'Til the Well Runs Dry by Lauren Francis-Sharma was on the new books shelf at the library. I hadn't heard of it before, but for some reason was drawn to it.
The beginning of the book had me interested, but I somehow got distracted a little ways in. Once I got about 100 pages in, I was really interested again.
It's the story of Marcia Garcia of Trinidad and Tabago. She is a seamstress who meets an Indian man named Farouk Karam. They "fall in love" and have children. From the beginning of their relationship, the entire world seems to be against them. Marcia has always had a bad life, but when she meets Farouk, her two boys are taken from her. Farouk begins to have bad luck as well.
The book covers the story of hardship that they face through their lives together and apart. Lots of sadness and trials of learning what is really important in life.
Some parts of the book I loved and some I didn't. Overall it was a pretty good story, but things didn't end the way I would have liked.
