Every time I opened this book, I was transported back to 1950s India. I was totally absorbed in the setting, the characters, the culture, the story. The rich history. The diversity. The novel left me with questions...
How do you reinvent yourself, leaving your past behind? How do you maintain your independence and not surrender bits and pieces of yourself in the process? When should you open your heart and your life to others? How do you find family, where you thought you had none? How do you find the courage to leave all that you have known and worked so hard for? How do you navigate your choices as a woman in a caste society? How will you measure your happiness? Success? How will you know if you’ve achieved your best life? How will you stay true to who you are?
