Normally, I love me some Indian fiction, but when it's not done well, I lose patience. It does sound as if the family dynamic was really interesting, but also at times hair-raising. I am not sure if I should read this one or not. After all this time, I am still on the fence!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-57871322350866752412011-07-15T10:27:57.698-04:002011-07-15T10:27:57.698-04:00I'm waffling about this book.
