Helpful Score: 2
I read this for my local book club's October 2012 pick, and I really enjoyed it!
It's a very powerful and impressionable story about infertility, racial and cultural obstacles, adoption, abandonment issues, marital conflict, and much more!
The first half of the story was nearly un-put-downable for me! So absorbed was I in the wonderful contrast between the lives of Somer in America and Kavita in India...and, of course, in how things would fare where poor baby Asha was concerned.
I think the author did a wonderful job illustrating the problems that are likely to arise in situations such as this, and demonstrated good, healthy pathways to overcoming them.
Without spoiling anything, I will say that I was a little disappointed in the ending, I feel a missed opportunity for creating something emotionally lasting, but I wasn't disappointed enough for it to detract from my enjoyment of the story as a whole.
I give this one a strong B+, and I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
