When I told my FB family that I was reading this book, I was surprised at the praise from some of my friends. Perhaps more surprising is that the praise is truly deserved. Despite it being the longest book written in the English language (about 1400 pages), I did not want this book to end. Seth's writing reminded me of why I love to read, and at times reminded me of Jane Austen. Not only because of the main plot (a mother searching for a suitable boy for her daughter), but because of Seth's lively yet realistic characters. My only complaints about the book are Lata's final choice and the fact that the story came to an end. And really, how many books can you say that about?
