Title: Can it stand the test of time ?
Review: I think not. I got a sense that this book is written more as a travelogue than a real work of art. Some detail of indian way of life is mentioned, obviously not for indians, but to woo the western audience. These are observations more befitting a travelogue.The prose is effortless to read, and the novel is a page tuner. But, again I don't think it is of a high cailbre. Let me explain, real art is mostly imaginative, it spell bounds the reader with its imaginative flair. Here, you are left with a feeling that the author is basically rehashing her experiences and the characters she knows in real life into to hotch potch interesting ancedotes. It might be the best work ever to come from the author now or in the future, the work has certain clarity and beauty, but brilliant it is not.
