This book had been on my list for a while and I thought it was one of those classics that I would love once I got into it. I wouldn't say I loved but I can see why it is so well-respected.The book follows the lives of a small village of people living in India, near the Nepali border. As the politics around them heat up into unrest and war, the lives of these people begin to unravel in parallel. One of them has a son who has immigrated to the U.S., and his life there is no better.
Well-written with intriguing characters, this book kept my attention. I thought it was a great "time and place" book, with excellent descriptions of both people and settings.
