5.0

Might be my favorite Desi diaspora book, with a perfect combination of comical wit and poignant analysis. I was biased by some interviews with the author in terms of what themes to look for, but seeing South Asian diaspora fiction go beyond the family and the past to roots that are simultaneously ours and not ours is a rare thing I hope to see more. And this is the first time I’ve seen a diaspora novel include mysticism and magic as an embraced part of our lives, rather than a silly falsehood to be rejected and scorned by the American-born second generation; it’s a welcome breath of fresh air
