I'm still reading the second book I mentioned in my last Sunday Salon post. I'm finding I have no time lately for reading, which really upsets me. But anyways...back to the book.
I'm looking at every story as a mirror into the way humans are. There's an adulterer, a sad housewife that misses India, an unhappy wife...
Even though every character is either in India, or from India, I can relate to the stories. Some of them are cultural experiances, such as Mrs. Sen missing her home in India...but I feel I can relate to even this, as I think we all feel out of place at one time or another.
I'm looking forward to searching for another book by the same author. The way the stories are written...its as if you are feeling every emotion along with the characters. Wonderful.

Have you come across the one about the Indian family who live in the US who go to India on holiday? I thought that was a very interesting comment on human behaviour, whatever the culture. As far as I'm aware the only other book she's had published is 'The Namesake' which is a novel and also very good.
