review 1: This was an early review book (although it was in the stores by the time I received it) and I was a bit unsure of its appeal just leafing through it. Forturnately my doubts were disproved. The author, Nafisa Hajy, kept my interest throughout the entire book. I am an underliner and margin note writer and I found myself doing that often because of the meaningful prose or how the story interacted with my life.I think it is extremely important that we learn about faiths other than are own as well as cultures and countrys. This provided not only an engrossing story but an interesting way to learn of other's customs, why certain rituals and observances are important and how we are more alike than many would like to believe.The courage of Jo to confront her mother, knowing th... moreat the man she had always thought to be her father couldn't be is a lesson for all of us to not be afraid to face up to an unknown, no matter how much it might change one's life. Haji also uses humor to difuse some of the incidents that could cause the book to become plodding and less readable.Some readers might think that the ending is a little too clean, all the ends tied up, but I would hope that there are similar situations that do result in families becoming closer and more inclusive.I would highly recommend this book as not only just a good story, but also as an educational way to learn about other religions and cultures.
review 2: I don't know why it took me so long to get into this book. I found the first 60 pages really hard going, so many characters being introduced at once, and even lost my way with the storyline in places. But beyond that I was hooked.Very much enjoyed the book overall, however the ending was a little too clean cut for me.This is Nafisa Haji's second novel. There is a definite improvement to the flow of her storytelling, and I look forward to reading more books by her in the future. Her genre is certainly one of my favourites. less
