I think it would have had more impact if the author had given her backstory much earlier. Her views seem to come from a negative and dark experience in the past, this past is not revealed to the reader till much later in the book. She seems extremely conflicted in her opinion of India from the moment she is picked up by Mohan at the airport.
The book opens with Smitha, an Indian American, arriving in Mumbai after a few decades. Not because of the heavy topics but because of the many flaws in the characters and bad plot choices. But reading this book was harder than I thought it would be. It deals with religion and honor killings in India. From the synopsis, I knew that this would be a heavy read. Let me start by saying, this book has a beautiful cover.
