5.0

This book was an absolute thrill from start to finish. I learned so much about caste and religion, yet never felt bogged down by the information thanks to the incredible cast of characters and quick plot. As a woman, it was a cathartic and empowering read. There are many dark ways the book could have gone, but the humor kept it light enough to never feel as heavy as its topic. A delight to read.
