I loved it.
Found it very hard to be away from it.
The story spans several generations but is fast paced & you don't have to read reams & reams to get to the end
The pace of the events in the book was symbolic of life in Bombay and I quite enjoyed that little nugget throughout.
Some might argue that it was perfect or unrealistic but I beg to differ. It felt very real to find out how events unfolded over time.
I would love to watch this on a movie screen 😍
Looking forward to more from this author 😀

A beautifully strung tale of how one life touches another.
A beautiful story that keeps you engrossed to know what finally does happen. I thoroughly enjoyed following the lives of the 5 women and how they all connected together.
My only reason to give 4 stars is because the end felt a little rushed...the wonderful pace of the entire story suddenly pushed into 5th gear!!!

An amazing book which I loved. How the story entails and encapsulates the society changes throughout the years. And how they are connected! Worth a read!
