This book does such a clever job of shifting and widening one's perspective about choice, traditionalism, honor, feminism, and liberation in the context of strong cultural and modern values.

Kind of bored with the pace feeling too slow. Bit too much like an anthology of erotica, which I should have expected.

I really enjoyed this book. It was such an interesting exploration of culture and religion and multi-generational families navigating those challenges. From my vantage point, it tackled culture and varying levels of conservatism within Sikhism remarkably well, allowing the women to be people - not caricatures of their culture. And listening to the audiobook was lovely.
