Written as a love letter ode to her mother, I loved the way this memoir flowed. I didnt know much about the author nor her acclaimed novel beforehand but this memoir was filled with life, understanding, growth, and such fierce honesty. The connection between the mother and daughter to share both their stories through independence to India, their gender and their caste is fills you with inspiring joy and pride. This is a wonderfully written book that should be shared (even though the ending is more political/religious than personal journey)
