I'm a big fan of Indian fiction and this book did not disappoint. Well-written and compelling portraits of Indian women in varied circumstances, but all illustrating the challenges facing women in traditional Indian society.

I may recommend this to my book club since our tradition is to not only discuss a book, but also gather for dinner, generally themed around the subject of the book.
