Before we visit the goddess

Interconnected stories of three generations of women across India and the USA. I wish the writing could have been better. I feel like the beginning of the book was good, but not subtle enough ; the middle of the book rushed and stereotypical ; the last third more diverse and alive, as if the author felt very passionate writing it. I enjoyed the introduction of colorful side character, such as the Grandma discovering the new world of thrift shops, the warm and kind friendship with Ken, the colliding worlds of a man and Tara on a trip to the temple... So many rich moments that kept me reading to learn more about them and what impact they will have on the main characters. A poetic ending, which still leaves me with many unanswered question. Could have been longer and more satisfying.
