I read Secret Daughter: A Novel by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
My mother read this last year and liked it so much that she requested it for her book club this year. When I went to visit her in July she handed it to me and said you need to read this. I can't say that I liked it as well as she did but I understand why she thought it would be good for the book club. Also when you look at the page for this book on Goodreads many other book clubs agree with her.
