I needed to know for certain what happened with Jaya and Patrick. Even when I knew what was going to happen, I couldn’t look away from the tragic prose. The story is phenomenal, just remarkable. And that only explains how I felt about the setting, and not the story itself. I would look up from the page and find myself not in current or British occupied India, but in my own home (or car, or park, or gym). The descriptions of India, its food, its traditions, its sites, were all laid out in such beautiful detail that I was a little taken aback every time that I stopped reading.
At times, I felt as though I was absorbed into the book and surrounded by the setting.
I was enthralled and moved by every sentence. To say I was transported by this book is a complete understatement. How have I not seen this book on everyone’s TBR? How has Oprah or Reese Witherspoon not chosen this book for their book clubs? I shouldn’t be able to go on bookstagram or twitter without seeing this title. This is one of those books that should be a bigger deal. To read reviews, please visit Sejal Badani’s page on iRead Book Tours.
