Helpful Score: 2

A riveting read, with two very different main characters who are nonetheless inextricably bound to one another. I found the inclusion of Parsi characters very interesting, as I hadn't yet read a (fiction) book with a person that particular ethnic group as a main character. Bombay really comes alive in this book! It was fun looking up some of the terms used, and I learned a lot about Indian cuisine while reading this book. Full of vibrant descriptions, well developed themes, and characters who you are sad to let go of once you finish. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
