After reading “Intimacy” I wanted to read something more “light”. The cover is nice and I didn’t understand what India Knight means, so I was curious. The name of a shop? Shops in India? Well, India Knight is the name of the author, and the book title is only “The shops”. That was my first discover. India born in Brussels and moved to London when she was nine years old. She started her career as journalist. The pleasure of the book is in each page itself. My impressions about it: It’s a book for shop lovers no doubt about it. If you had never been in Paris, London or Brussels, a lot of things that the author says makes not much sense, it’s a bit too local, but on the other hand, sounds nice and it’s an idea for the future. If you had been in those places, than it’s good opportunity to remember. The author seems to have a good mood, so she is funny. It has also a different format, it presents address, sites, shopping suggestion; it has illustration; and it’s an autobiography of specific topics of the author’s life. Why did I like the book? It’s a very pleasant reading, I had good laughs and she has a very funny way to write about life.
