Helpful Score: 4


This is one of my favorite books of all time. I was glad it was so long because I never wanted it to end. In its way, a sort of epic tale, it has gentle humor, love, friendship, understanding for both Hindus and Muslims, bits of history, insight into the dynamics of Indian families, vivid depictions of Indian life--I could go on and on; and it is beautifully written.
