a pleasant read, i enjoy Sidhwa’s writing style. The Junglewalla’s make for complex and interesting characters, even if they are thoroughly unlikeable. I think it could be argued that the book is a scathing presentation of male narcissism, arrogance and misogyny - male characters who cannot bear to be wrong or to give ground to the women who dare to defy them.
