I really enjoyed this book. It is a coming of age novel of two sisters, Linno and Anju. Linno and Anju are as close as any two sisters can be till fate leaves Linno in bucolic Kumarakom, Kerala while Anjuleaves for New York - by fair means or foul. From then on we follow the parrallel paths of the two sisters oceans apart and marvel at the progress Linno makes despite her handicap. The author slips bit of their history while spinning a fascinating yarn of current events. Time takes its toll and both sisters want their parrallel lives to converge and to this end we encounter the various interesting characters such as Anju's host parents and their son; and Linno's employer. Will their lives ever converge again? It is well wort ha read to find out.
