My first book of Vikram Seth. It is definitely huge in size and will demand significant time of yours but it would be time worth spending. It revolves around just independent era of India, of families, of relationships. You would remain glued to this literary fiction because it is written beautifully, wittily, poetically.
It give us glimpse of everything during post-independence time politics, Indian festivals, people and overall it is neatly knitted story with parts of everything in it! You can relate characters to people around you and though you finish the book you find yourself comparing people to characters in the book.
You may like to read it in patches of your day but whenever you read you will connect to characters and story. Even though written twently years ago, you will still marvel and cherish reading it. If you are a reader of sorts(a dedicated reader I mean), you cannot skip this book. It's a great conversation starter among bibliophiles and you definitely don't want to look idiot!
