This was a multi-generational look at life as part of the Brahmin caste in India between 1890 and about 1950. The story itself was interesting and I really appreciated learning more about the case sytem in India, how it works(ed)? and the movement to do away with it. It was a bit slow going at times because so many of the words were unfamiliar to me. But I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning about some of the traditions that have shaped India.
