First, this is the first time I have had the pleasure to read Anuradha Roy's works, so I have no comparison to the great reviews from her first novel, An Atlas of Impossible Longing. That being said, it won't be the last thing I read of hers either. The Folded Earth is rich in history, lyrical writing, and simply entrancing. However, it is very slow to start and the reader must become invested in the tale or they won't be interested in finishing it. I thought it was very easy to put down but I kept turning the pages, because I didn't want to miss out on something special

I'm certainly glad I did as the second half really caught my attention. The Folded Earth is a tragic story but infused with hope and beauty. If you haven't read Anuradha Roy's work, definitely pick up The Folded Earth. It is an emotional journey that shouldn't be missed this summer!
