A review by maureenmccombs
Miss New India by Bharati Mukherjee

2.0

2.5 This book started off really strong but my the mid-point it had lost its focus and by the end I am not sure the author had any idea what was going on. The descriptive atmosphere was excellently executed, but the characters were a bit flat. The main character, who starts the book with such promise, turns into a sniveling ninny by the end and was very hard to like because of her indecisiveness. This was required reading for a class, otherwise not one I would have picked up on my own. Lukewarm recommendation for others to read.
