How I Came Across It...
*I have followed Oprah's book club since it first started "back in the day". Some books I've enjoyed and others I've skipped. When she announced this title during the fall of 2025, I decided to give a try. I went with the audio version via Audible.
What It's About - Five Things You Need to Know...
*The story is set in Kolkata in the future.
*Ma is still there with her young daughter and elderly father.
*Ma's husband went ahead to begin their new life in Michigan.
*Right before their departure, the family's passports have been stolen.
*Ma sets on finding the thief and the thief has his own reasons for doing what he did. What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections... *The narration of the story was incredible and so easy to listen to.
*There were several times when I was happy I had chosen to listen to the story rather than read it.
*Portions of the novel was interesting and intriguing while other sections moved a bit too slowly for my taste.
*I was fascinated learning about life in India.
*The shocking conclusion came out of nowhere and I was quite shocked at the ending of the story. Who Should Read It... *I think this work of fiction is for the reader who gravitates towards "high-end" literature. The writing is beautiful, the story line is in-depth, and the characters are well developed. It isn't a fast read, but a satisfying one when you finish the last page. Happy Reading! Rating... 4 out of 5 stars
