I've read several books about the Indian experience, and this one was hard for me to get into. It began with her life in Iowa with all these characters running around without a proper introduction. She makes you have to figure out through their interactions, who they are, allowing little hints here and there on their identity. Then it goes back in time to the character's youth and pieces of her life in India as well as Manhattan, again with all these characters you have to identify. Frankly, I got bored. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to appreciate it, but I like my books to follow a more seamless stream of thought. I didn't finish it, I skipped to the end, which I also found unsatisfying.
