I expected to enjoy this book, but I was struck with the ease at which I fell in to this story. Nishant Batsha has some beautiful prose that manages to paint a vivid picture without feeling overworked. The juxtaposition of the siblings as they orbit each other in life is wonderfully done, and I appreciate how deftly Batsha showcases the pain and joy brought by both diaspora and family.
