This book takes us to England and also covers many parts of India..One will enjoy at how the author has beautifully drawn and described India with her words, an India with all it’s cultural values…an India with so many varieties of food…An India that one can never forget no matter which part of the world you settle down in.
When a character in the novel returns to India from England it gave me a sense of relief…a feeling that anyone at an onsite craving to return to India might have…
Encourage anyone who reads this review to read the book and enjoy what I enjoyed
