Sister of My Heart : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Pleasurable reading
Review: I always enjoy a novel that transports me, and Sister of My Heart certainly does just that. The intimate look at the lives, loves and hardships of two "sisters", Sudha and Anju makes for poignant and entertaining reading. Whenever I read a book about Indian women, even in modern soceity, it always re-emphasizes how different and difficult the lives of women in other cultures can be. While some themes are universal to all women(love, marraige, children), the expectations, rules and traditions that govern women's worlds are vastly diverse. This is a great story to curl up and get lost in.
