Beautiful story. The Ganguli family comes to American to make their home from Calcutta. They experience culture shock and are home sick. This story will rip at your heart if you have ever been away from home for sometime. It will make you realize what one experiences in a different country, if you have not ever had to leave and try to ajust to new surroundings and people. I loved this book.
