The Lost Love Songs of Boysie Singh by Ingrid Persaud / review

[@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this as I did and can give it a bit of love and attention. You really draw out the quality of the different voices. And you're right to say it is fun to read despite not belittling the grim elements.

As an aside upon seeing your shirt, I'm currently reading a New Zealand award winner The Axeman's Carnival by Catherine Chidgey

Goodness me, what a great book, thank you for your recommendation I really loved this despite struggling with the dialect reading. I felt if repaid the effort needed to read it and it will be appearing on my Christmas gift list!

[@lynnhall-or5fy]

I really enjoyed Love After Love (I love what a Guardian review of it said that at times you don’t read the novel so much as hear it!). I suspect Boysie Singh may be similar. Anyway very keen to read it. And from downunder in NZ very much appreciate the tshirt!

I started this book after watching your review and I cannot put it down 😅. I‘m already looking forward to reading Love After Love Thanks for the great recommendation!

[@DaveNYC]

I was looking for a reason to skip some of the more unpromising Booker long list selections, and now you’ve provided it! Great review, and I will report back after I finish.

[@Stormbrise]

By unpromising ones did you wish to avoid?

[@warrenhall1101]

Thanks a bunch for your comments on this book. I'm sold! I ordered the book and it comes tomorrow!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Hope you enjoy it!

This Kiwi loves the T-Shirt. Have the book on hold at the library. Great review.

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thanks! I’ve still never visited NZ but a friend brought the tshirt back for me.

[@cindyhaiken5644]

I’m really eager to read this one. Thanks for talking it up!

[@valdeane6435]

Interesting! I had looked at this novel but haven't seen anyone talking about it. I really enjoyed reading Love After Love and am now going to definitely pick up 'Boysie Singh'. Thanks Eric!

[@virginiaanderson8875]

Thank you for telling us about this wonderful read, hadn’t heard of him and am looking forward to reading it - you are such a wealth of information for all these books, - very appreciated.😊

[@shahanaray]

[@GemofBooks]

This sounds like a fantastic book - hopefully it makes next years Women’s prize 🤞🏻

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Yes! 💚

[@neetupd8510]

Wish you a very Happy Birthday Eric! 🎉😊 Looking forward to reading this new title after hearing your views... Love after love was a nice read!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Thank you!

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

I wanted to read this before. Now I want to read it more. 😊💙

[@jamesduggan7200]

Glad you've found another winner! As for me, I was so embarrassed at the paucity of finished novels on the latest 100 best list I'll be reading something from there, probably Roth or Didion, but one step at a time, right?

[@karenmoore4430]

Hi Eric just reserved Lost Loves from my library. Just picked up Private Rites by Julian Armfield. Hope it is as good as Our Wives Under the Sea.

Hey Eric, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@Stormbrise]

Which book would you have it replace?
