Review title: Eye-opening
Product review: This was a really refreshing book to read as it didn't bow down to Indian cultural stereotypes for a start and didnt opt for the fairytale ending. Instead it blew open the concept of being an Indian woman in Western society, but made sure never to victimise the main character Nila. I liked that since Indian literature has a tendency to glorify and exoticise, whereas this writer shows us a well rounded woman who can be weak but is only out to see who she really is. There are the other victimised characters in the novel, in the shape of Nila's mother who dies and her friend who commits suicide, yet the writer does not get overly sentimental, choosing instead to show what is behind their deaths. Though it was a bit stilted in places, perhaps due to the translation, it was an enjoyable read.
