There is Something about Mira by Sonali Dev is a modern romance centered around a young Indian-American woman named Mira who is thirty years old and a physical therapist who specializes in pain management. She is engaged to an orthopedic surgeon named Druv. Both sets of parents, well, mothers, really, are thrilled and much more invested in the wedding than are the bride and groom. Druv wanted to introduce her to New York City, but here she was, rescheduling the flight for the last time. The airline would not do it again. Then, he announces he cannot go. She decides to go by herself. Her mother is aghast, but it is not that first time Mira has upset her. First on her list is the Empire State Building. On her way there, she trips and falls, and finds a ring on a chain. She becomes obsessed with finding the owner. She has gone to see her brother, Rumi, and his live-in boyfriend, Sak, which she has been forbidden by her mother to do. Gays is not OK. The boyfriend becomes just as interested; he is a high-end jeweler and introduces her to someone he knows, Khrish, who has already seen Mira’s post on social media, is a newspaper reporter, and all in. Mean while we are monitoring a correspondence between two women friends from thirty years earlier. There is a lot going on.
For Mira, this is a journey of discovery. She had been an old maid when the most handsome man around took and interest in her. Why would she not want that? Her mother did, but then she pretended Rumi was dead because he loved a man. The two women from earlier turned out to be important to the story as Krish and Mira traveled to India to find one of them. Mira was a strong young woman who hadn’t quite settled into her self yet. It was kind of a coming of age story for her. Several sets of eyes were opened throughout the process. It was a saga with a plot. Things changed for everyone during the years or so this story took place and the reader was on the journey. If anything, I would say it was a little wordy. Good book.
