Title: very disappointing
Product review: I started this book after reading so many fabulous things about it. But after struggling through all its immense rambling length, I have no clue what the whole point was. The initial premise of stories within stories was novel and arresting. But I found the awkward jumping from past to present very jarring. It might have made the novel more cohesive if Chandra had stuck to the medieval India stories and not tried to work in the American experiences. The events that lead to the end with the mad doctor just came out of nowhere and I didn't get the sense that this novel was being led to its logical conclusion. All in all, very disappointing!
