Sparse in style, yet deeply textured tale of an Indian family emigrating to what they believe is a land of opportunity and wonderment, the United States in the 1970s detailing their extreme trials, great joys and tribulations. At times very sad, other times darkly comedic and overall all about family, certainly a good read! A 7 out of 12, Three Star read

Cheers Jen. my short and sweet review style circa 2015 :)


Rosh ~on extended semihiatus~ A new name for this Indian, so I shall see if I can get my hands on this, though I am wary of expat Indian writers. Glad you enjoyed this almost a decade ago, Baba. :)
