This writer is fast becoming one of my favourite contemporary writers. You would never believe she is not a wise old lady, who lived through wars and catastrophes. She is not, she is young, a mother with a job but writes really the most insightful books. Also, interestingly she always a male main character to make her points, but is equally able to put across the female view. Brilliant writing skills and beautiful language.

What a colorful and engaging tale! I loved this! I loved the detail. I loved how it started out being narrated by one person and as the story grew so did the points of view! I loved the mild immersion into the Bengali culture. As a side note this book made me so hungry reading it. The amount of food that was described was terrible only because I read this on an empty stomach. Everything sounded delicious! ^_^
