I rated the book average because I liked elements of the book. But, I would have liked to know more about Napoli's life in Bhutan. Not much was written about what she specifically did for the radio station and rather late in the book she mentioned friends she had made who were ex-pats but she hadn't mentioned them previously.

Brunonia Barry's intertwines many lives together very well while telling the story of how Zee Finch learns the truth about her family. The author concentrates on Zee's life and intersperses the story with other characters as necessary. This technique makes the story move at a nice pace while telling just enough background information.
