I loved the book. It is hard to say what it is, but it is definitely not what you expect. I picked it up about a year before I started reading it. And when I started, I did not remember why I picked it up. So I went and read a couple of reviews. Most of them are pretty bad. I think the fault of those reviewers was to expect something from the book.

A desperate attempt to roughly summarize this book and why it is not what you expect:
* India (in the sense of being split from Pakistan)
* Politics (in the sense of requiring more than complaining)
* Love (in the sense of grief)
* Immigration (in the sense of leaving what you thought you are)
