- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.5
Nuanced and fraught but ultimately very sympathetic to its characters. Lahiri has a knack for writing low level despair and melancholy. I will definitely have to reread.
Moderate: Chronic illness
Minor: Miscarriage and Car accident
