The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. I read the Secret Daughter years ago and didn’t think at the time to look into other books this author wrote. I was pleasantly surprised to become engrossed in this story along with appreciating her writing and story telling the same way as I did with the first book I read of hers. I loved how the two MCs were on a journey to live their life they way they wanted outside of the cultural and traditional expectations they had from their families and their society. I appreciated Leena’s strength through all her struggles and even through how her journey took shape by the end of the story. It was captivating to read how Anil journeyed through finding a path with his life that respected both where he was from and where he saw his future. Loved this book immensely.
