Review title: Main Character's voice rings false
Product review: The novel starts of with a bang and promptly loses itself in weak harlequin romance-type prose. As an Indian-American woman that is Meena's age, I found Meena's character to be utterly unrealistic. Meena's voice was not that of a woman that migrated from India between at age 7, but rather of an Indian immigrant my mother's age (or Ms Kirschner's age) who obviously idealizes the India because it was home. The about-face in attitude towards India that Meena experiences towards the end of the book is abrupt and not consistent with the character as she is described. Neither the story nor the manner in which it is told is praiseworthy. An example of the pitfalls a first-time author falls into...
