This book is about a girl adopted from India to the US by an Indian father and American mother. It was very readable, and the nuance increased as the book progressed. I loved what it had to say about family, about different cultures, and about the strength of impoverished Indian mothers. The ending brought tears to my eyes… the Indian mother, on her deathbed, learned that the daughter she had secretly given up to save her from being killed had prospered, and had looked for her biological parents. The secret daughter had even left a letter at the orphanage for her parents. All the main characters in the novel grew as human beings.
