An easy read about a traditional family in India with some rather horrible practices of patriarchy. The eldest son leaves for America and becomes a doctor and his experience doing his residency and navigating America was pretty interesting. Overall events seemed a bit too simplified and the ending was sappy and a bit too optimistic but it was a quick read and I enjoyed it.
