The author is a naturalized U.S. citizen from India and a prolific writer of novels, mostly based in modern India, detailing the social injustices and the inequalities between the 'haves and have-nots' and has now brought to the readership a new expose on the complexities of interracial and inter-faith marriages as in the case of a Spanish girl to a Pakistani immigrant, recounted here. The diversity of interests and the complex manifestations of their allegiances and the family dynamics are skillfully portrayed in this novel. However, this story by no means extols a universal truth, just one tragic occurrence.
