No Ordinary Thursday
No Ordinary Thursday | Anoop Judge
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A family, broken by the shattering turns of a single day, will do anything to find their way back to one another. Lena Sharma is a successful San Francisco restaurateur. An immigrant, she's cultivated an image of conservatism and tradition in her close-knit Indian community. But when Lena's carefully constructed world begins to crumble, her ties to her daughter, Maya, and son, Sameer--both raised in thoroughly modern California--slip further away. Maya, divorced once, becomes engaged to a man twelve years her junior: Veer Kapoor, the son of Lena's longtime friend. Immediately Maya feels her mother's disgrace and the judgment of an insular society she was born into but never chose, while Lena's cherished friendship frays. Meanwhile, Maya's younger brother, Sameer, struggles with an addiction that reaches a devastating and very public turning point, upending his already tenuous future. As the mother, daughter, and son are compromised by tragedy, secrets, and misconceptions, they each must determine what it will take to rebuild their bonds and salvage what's left of their family.

After a string of mediocre thrillers and as you can tell from my reviews, I had an”AHA” moment and decided to skip “ the next “Gone Girl” (I think at this point even “Gone Girl isn‘t the next GG!) and read this. It is the story of two Indian families and the traditional v. modern,misunderstandings, hope, despair - life. Finally a book where I liked the characters. When a chapter concentrated on one character I kept thinking what about the other.
