A review by bibliophilelinda
Jasmine: 30th Anniversary Edition by Bharati Mukherjee

3.0

"Jasmine" is the tale of a Punjabi woman destined to search for peace. Widowed at the age of 17 by a terrorist bomber, she flees to America begins the process of trying to assimilate into American culture. Rather than retain her Hindu identity, Jyoti/Jasmine/Jase/Jane seeks to forget the horrors of her past and live an uneventful life. The writing was quite beautiful but the ending rather threw me for a loop.
