i absolutely love multi-generational sagas and to think this one's set partly in colonial india and inter-war england !!!! i think this is an extremely important educational read, while it is also one of those stories ur gran tells you at bedtime :) the writing is wonderful, the pacing is just right, and i thought the character arcs were brilliant. what each narrator went through, their inner conflicts, and how those affected the family as a whole, everything is well thought out. i think sinha is a writer to look out for !!
