by Book W (Ohio): This is a “must read” for everyone no matter the age, origin, gender or geographical location. You can’t help coming away feeling humble – on so many planes and for so many reasons.

by Barbara, The Club’s Book Groups (Montgomery, Al): The tragedy, the sorrow, the loss, is almost too much for me to recommend this; on the other hand Mistry made me believe I knew these characters. I believe I would know them on the street if I were to go to India today. It is true, as others have said, I did not want to put it down each night;...
by Lindsey (TN): This is by far the best book I’ve ever read. It was told beautifully. This book could have gone on forever in my opinion, from the first few pages I was hooked. This author went through so much going back through her family line, learning, and understanding where she came from and about her family. What really put this book...
