attyanne 's review for:

The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

4.0

---

A very satisfying novel by the author of "The Secret Daughter," which was also an excellent read. This book was especially illuminating in portraying the experiences of an educated Indian immigrant to the U.S. I found some of the later parts of this novel to be a little too reminiscent of a soap opera, and characters believed in ways (e.g., ultimately accepting responsibility for their own wrongdoings) that I found hard to believe. All in all, however, a well-written novel, and one that I found hard to put down.
