The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
4.0

This is the second book that I’ve read by this author, and I think that I enjoyed it more than the first one I read. I identified with Anil and his struggles to deal with his family’s expectations and his own as he tried to forge a career path in a new country. I also felt like the characters were easier to identify with than The Secret Daughter. My only regret is that there wasn’t more talk about food, although that’s probably a good thing since I didn’t get hungry every time I read this book!
