A beautiful story about South Asian diaspora societies in a foreign and often unkind land, where shame and honor often triumph over choice and plague women's lives. But this is also a story of women finding themselves, discovering a community, being able to openly discuss their desires, and, in the process, learning to fight for their rights and support one another. So wonderfully portrayed, while at the same time quite fair and balanced about the diaspora experiences!
