Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya

5.0

I read this book in high school (13 years ago now) and it has always stuck with me as one of my favorites. It is such a humbling tale to read as you watch the main characters family seemingly never catch a break but keep pressing through their hardships.

It was difficult at first as I can remember feeling like it was "boring" but I am SO glad my teacher at the time urged me to keep pushing through. By mid-way I didn't want to put it down and I could feel myself rooting and rooting that things would look up for the main character soon.

This will forever be one of my favorite reads.
