An intriguing exploration of love, familial, platonic and romantic. A stiring, heartbreaking and moving story. 
I loved the strong friendship and respect between Miss Betty and Mr Chetan. 
The self harm element in the latter section was some of the most confronting that I've read.

This book was beautiful. The writing was lush and emotional. It is impossible to me that these characters are not real people. This story was wonderfully told.
