Title: Thoughtfully told stories of the joys and heartaches of adjustment
Review: Ms. Reddi has written a very compelling set of stories that tell it like it is. The characters are genuine and their lives and the situations and decisions that confront them are universal and certainly not restricted to the issues facing those who have one foot in American and one foot in India. I teach a theme-based writing course at a university and I often use the theme of "home." My students are reading this collection as one of their textbooks this semester and it has triggered many many interesting discussions. Reddi writes with the same passion and sensibility as Chitra Divakaruni, in her collection of short stories, Arranged Marriage.
