I couldn’t agree more. the book has so much depth, and the storyline is great. this is a must-read.

Wow, I was blown away by the way the characters are developed, & how a plot of misery-turning-to-greater-misery leaves me not in dispair, but hopeful somehow… Mistry creates characters, & then shows their lives w/o playing to the reader’s emotions… artfully conceived & executed!

also, as a historical novel, this gives more of a sense of what might have been realistic in Indira Ghandi’s reign…

wow!

Mistry is by far one of the best story tellers of our time. My passion for India only grew deeper reading his novel(s). He shows us India.

i cried oceans reading this.

i lost the book at the airport in cuba. once i get the money to replace it i will continue reading again.
