Couldn't put it down. I find it interesting that one of things I enjoyed about the novel the most seems to be the most controversial among readers, and I think it's directly attributable to Vachani's background as a filmmaker. The interwoven narratives that reveal slowly over the course of the book the connections between characters and their identities have a very "show, don't tell" quality--it requires some commitment from the reader to follow the novelist where she wants to take you. An excellent history lesson through the eyes of ordinary Indians.
