Independence

I've had a thing for stories set in India lately. I don't think I even looked at the plot when I made my Book of the Month selection. Even if I had I would have scooped it up immediately, but in the end, it just didn't resonate with me.

Three sisters, Priya, Deepa, and Jamini have their sheltered lives shaken by the violent death of their father. Eventually separated as they grow into their own lives, they struggle as the winds of their country have changed.

I enjoyed Priya's POV the most, though Deepa and Jamini's were also interesting. Unfortunately, that interest waned the further I read. Above all else, I enjoyed the backdrop of history and learning more about a time where my knowledge is limited. I didn't latch onto the writing style which was a big reason I wasn't getting pulled into the story.
