About the book:
Another one received for review from LT. Unfortunately, I completely missed the point of this book. I found the subject (or lack thereof) uninteresting, it seems that nothing happens in this book. The language is also difficult to grasp- did the author intend to use an incorrect English (as spoken in India by the book characters)? Is this a book about food?If so, the Indian food names and the recipes are uselful only if you are Indian or have a broad knowledge about Indian cuisine. Is it about an unspoken love story? Maybe it's a historic novel? Not sure. Fact is that although the book was shortlisted for few literary awards, this book did not talk to me.
