I absolutely love this one. It does start out slow but that's actually great in my opinion. Jaswal does a great job in not getting lost, the book discusses so much at the same time, it would have been so easy to get lost in it all.  The love, the hate between siblings is described so realistically. All of the sisters seem so annoying as we start but as the story progresses, I found myself falling in love with them.  One more thing I love about this is the descriptions of places, of foods and the internal dialogues are just beautiful. Very much appreciate the way how the sisters approach being Indian origin Britishers. All in all it was a great experience reading this book. Also, it was great that some things were left unresolved, minor as they were it seemed perfect after the big Indian daily soapesque ending it could have been left at, it was like a subtle hint that everything is not going to be good always but that's fine.
