Woah, am I the only one who found the second chapter disorienting with too many perspectives in a short page run?
The book opens in 3rd person narration from Big Ammachi’s perspective, but suddenly, we shift to her sister-in-law’s then back again before the page ends. Then 1-2 pages later, there’s an actual omniscient narrator calling Ammachi “our young bride” and expositing for the rest of the chapter?

Once I put this down, I didn’t want to pick it back up. Maybe I’ll come back someday.
