review 1: An intriguing and sometimes very dark story about a young Indian girl being raised in America whose mother uproots her and takes her to the ancestral village of Malanad for the summer. The author did a wonderful job of building layers of secrets, complicated further by each generation's lack of understanding and belief that, if ignored, it will all go away. I see the harm that can come to a child from being lied to their entire life, rather than just having an honest, yet uncomfortable, conversation from the getgo. Meaningful, complex, and written with rich detail of the culture, routines, and morals of India.
review 2: I got this book a few years ago as a Christmas present for my sister. My sister only just read it a few months ago and recommended that I rea... mored it. At first Kamala Nair's story telling is intriguing but a bit slow, however after a few small chapters the story quickly picks up. Kamala Nair is a real story teller, on par with some of my favorites including Frances Hodgsen Burnett. The Girl in the Garden takes you through so many emotions, through so many twists that I just can't tell you how satisfying yet sorrowful and somehow uplifting it was in the end. I definately recommend this book! less
