review 1: An engrossing story of a modern New York woman torn between two cultures--her parents' India, where a curse is devastating her family, and her stressful life in Manhattan as a psychiatrist with a boyfriend she's afraid to introduce to her family. "People" magazine said "A Jane Austen-ish plot gets a delicious Indian accent in this effervescent first novel" and I agree. Also it's a treat for armchair travelers who want to know India but can't afford the airfare.
review 2: I'm really having some bad luck with novels. This book doesn't seem (according to the description on the dust jacket) to be a chick novel, but the more I read, the more it is going in that direction. It's not badly written but I don't care about the characters all that much. As much as I hate ... moreto add another book to my "can't read" shelf, I'd hate even more to spend another week struggling to read it when I could move onto something better. I can't even give advice on whether anyone should read it or not because it was so blah to me that I can't whip up enough interest to write a scathing review. So I guess if it looks interesting to you and you are still reading at page 50, then go for it. less
