A review by bookluver1
Teatime for the Firefly by Shona Patel

4.0

My book group chose this book as a club read. It is beautifully written, about a time and culture I have not experienced (India in the mid-1900s.) The author based the characters on her own family. As a first-time novelist she has done a beautiful job. The writing is beautiful and is great world-building. However for me, the story moved too slow for me to finish. Everyone else in my club loved it. I give it four stars for that reason.
