Review title: Disappointing read
Product review: This book started out beautifully- a wedding ceremony in desert India amongst 7-year olds. The bride- kidnapped and taken away by bad guys to the big city never to see her child/husband/friend again. And then- bam! We're in San Francisco with a very American main character named Meena who we're supposed to relate to as the child bride. But of course by now, she's educated, wears jeans and jogs, and has a great job in computer software. A Quantum leap into the future. Ms. Kirshner had the right beginning but took the story in the wrong direction. I kept reading the book, mainly because I was very interested in the Indian/Bengali cultural aspects of the story. Also. the "caught between two cultures" idea seemed realistic. The rest of the story ended up being a schmaltzy love story with a predictable ending. Everyone "adjusted" way too easily to the conclusion. Disappointing at best.
