This is an amazing book! The characters and their plights pull you in immediately and you come to care for them quickly. It's a journey of tragedy, heartache, hope, and family. Manasa is unwanted by her father for being a daughter in a culture that celebrates males. Because of her father's manipulation and her innocence, she's forced along a challenging and difficult path as a prostitute in a struggle to survive.Beautifully written, you can taste, smell, and experience the harsh realities of India and it's culture in the colourful prose that jumps out of the page. The plot is fantastic and hooked me so much I couldn't put it down.
