Defiant of her father's culturally sanctified heavy-handed ways and biology's edicts as well, Mitra designs her own life in San Francisco. This story of familial relationships is largely character driven, filled with conflict and love and beautifully told heartfelt drama. The personal tone makes it enjoyable time spent witnessing that interplay and the growth of the protagonist especially. This book might be for fans of Forty Autumns by Nina Willner, a more plot driven story of a large East German family struggling with defying their patriarch.

My only criticism of Susanne Pari's is that sometimes the writing imposed itself on the reading. Similes, while descriptive, sometimes did not fit the context. Too much description of items or use of their brand names became overdone. Overall, my rating is 3.5. Thank You!
