beautiful novel that tenderly narrates the experience of indian immigrants and their 2nd gen children, lots of wonderful heartwarming details and quite engaging throughout 
my only qualms 
- sometimes a few of the rich characters irritated me 
- wish we got to see more of sonia 
- abrupt ending, some of the plot seemed random towards the end
