Update: I thought this would just be another boring book we're required to read in school but I'm actually finding it pretty nice.

I loved this book a whole lot. The writing was beautiful and the story was both beautiful and heartbreaking. This, I believe, gives you a very clear picture of what is like to live and be poor in India(which I think is a majority of people?). I think the only issue I had with this book was that some things would happen out of the blue and I would have appreciated more explanation. But at the same time I know that she wasn't wanting to put too much focus on that and all, but especially when it came to her children I had a hard time knowing if they were hers because she never really told you until something happened to them and then you were told. I felt that I would have felt more for the children if I had known that, but I understood because this was the mother's story. Overall everything was beautiful and I appreciated what was being said. I give this a recommend. If you do not know how I rate: pass borrow recommend or buy I don't like doing star ratings but since goodreads do that I will show but when I write a review you will see how I rate it in this fashion.
