A monster read (1349 pages), I enjoyed it very much. I learned interesting history and religious customs of 1950's India. The characters began to feel like friends to me. I enjoyed reading about the many suitors that Lata Mehra had and how her mother tried to manipulate her marriage.
Torn between 3 men, I believe that Lata finally made the right choice. I can't wait to read A Suitable Girl, when it is published on January 10, 2019.
