A review by alicebeastcat
The Charterhouse of Padma by Padma Viswanathan

4.25

I loved the nested/parallel stories!  And both "P" characters and how they grapple with the many and varied relationships in their lives.  I enjoyed the essay excerpts sprinkled throughout the text very much until the end, when they took up a larger percentage of the book -- I was so interested in both "P"s that I didn't want to be pulled away from their stories so much.
