This book has been on my Libby holds list for a short bit.
Chose to read this book for 2 reasons:
1. Every year since 2019 when Barrack Obama started releasing his reading list I have chosen 2 of his books from the list to read. I already read The King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby...of course I did as his southern crime noir is excellent reading.
2. Had a desire to begin exploring Booker Short Listed novels.

Already I am feeling for Mina Foi a divorced woman who finds herself back with the family she was born into. Her mother is strict and unrelenting and so here Mina Foi finds herself stuck with her Indian family.
The writing is intriguing a cross between precision and poetic.
When I pick a book from Barrack Obama's Reading List I am almost never disappointed.
Looks as if this will be a 3-4 day read at 645 pages.
