This book is well written and I stayed with it 'til the bitter end. I cared a great deal about the characters and was left with a feeling of despair when I finished this book. Definitely not a feel good book. It does however stay in-line with other Oprah Book Club selections that were depressing: Map of the World (which I loved but found depressing) and This Much Is True (Loved it!) So if you're looking for a good in-depth character driven story of life in India as well as a book full of anguish--this book is for you.
