Miss New India by Bharati Mukherjee

3.0

An intriguing book, but I wish I'd liked the protagonist more. Anjali is described as a mirror personality, one who reflects back to those with whom she interacts, and I understand how the author intended to use this to illustrate a theme. Even so, I kept being distracted with wondering why others were so drawn to her. Some interesting perspectives on contemporary India, especially regarding "customer support centers" are presented, and I liked that Mukherjee leaves the conclusions for the reader to draw.
