I bought this book after seeing a YouTube video and thought of giving it a try. This is about a Christian neighborhood set in south Bombay back in the day. The stories are not in chronological order it goes back and forth and it was hard for me to connect the dots and follow. For most of the time, I kept wondering if there is even a story. There are so many characters coming and going in the story with backstories of their own which again I felt like what is even the point. I couldn’t connect with any characters and even after finishing the book if you ask me the story, I gonna say I have no idea. Maybe people from Bombay or people from the same kind ah neighborhood can relate but in my opinion, you can definitely skip this book.
