After reading The Death of Vishnu few years ago, I wanted to give this book a shot hoping that Manil Suri will recreate the magic and he has to some extent but this book is not as interesting as The Death of Vishnu. The story of a middle child whose fate is sealed in the form of a marriage the moment she lets her teenage curiosity take her into the arms of her sister's ex-boyfriend. The plot of this novel is so common among Indian families in 1950s-60s that it is easy to relate to the events unfurling as the story goes on.
