review 1: I had starting trouble with the book but once the ice was broken after a few pages, Anjali's easy writing assumed a clarity that made all the characters believable and the events easy to relate to. More than the ageing letter writer nurturing ambitions as a writer and his travails with his marriage, I was absorbed by Ashish's life. In a manner so unpretentious, she deals with homosexuality without falling for stereotypes. Very original writing of very original lives.
review 2: I probably can't write as good a review as other readers but I really liked this book. It had a bit of everything in it I guess. Gives a little insight into the lives of people living in a small Bombay enclave; their families, friends, and events shaping their lives on a day-to-day basis,... more death, marriages, sexuality all shaping their lives conventionally and unconventionally . The writer shows how functional and dysfunctional the people in that part of the world can be....being equally as functional and dysfunctional as we can be in our section of the world as well. So whats normal? Nothing really... less
