efirer 's review for:
The Magnificent Ruins
by Nayantara Roy
Totally absorbing, this novel offers up a family saga, adding in the Kolkata setting, great characters and a touch of politics, making for a fantastic read. Lila De unexpectedly inherits her family home in Kolkata. Leaving her Brooklyn home, her new promotion, and her friends, Lila flies to Kolkata to encounter her family questioning the legitimacy of the terms of the will. At the same time, Lila confronts the complicated history with her mother, eventually uncovering many family secrets and regrets. I loved the book and highly recommend it for the Indian culture, the family relationships, and the excellent writing. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
