Custody by Manju Kapur

3.0

I think it is the genius of a writer who picked up a difficult situation to talk about and then write about it in a way that I, who has read this book in 2016, feel that she wrote today and she wrote it because she was telling me something about the lives of the people in the book. I came to care about Roo and Arjun as though they were someone I knew, therein lies the genius of a writer.

That being said, I did feel that the author took a few shortcuts in the narration towards the end when she felt that the story had gone too far already and she wanted to get done with it. That showed at a few places.

Anyways, this is definitely not light reading or to be read if you are considering a divorce. Gets too real.
