beautiful novel that tenderly narrates the experience of indian immigrants and their 2nd gen children, lots of wonderful heartwarming details and quite engaging throughout
my only qualms
- sometimes a few of the rich characters irritated me
- wish we got to see more of sonia
- abrupt ending, some of the plot seemed random towards the end
