What a Wonderful Journey!

This is a book I got with my Amazon First Reads and it is one I probably wouldn’t have glanced twice at if I’d just been scrolling through books to purchase/read. It sheds light on the issues in India during the British rule and helps to emphasize how far the world has come from certain customs. I learned a lot about the country, their customs, and how Britain reigned over them during that time. Not only does the book take you on a new cultural journey, it touches on a very delicate subject - infertility. It’s a big part of the story, and it’s the whole reason that Jaya desires to escape to India. There’s also a huge secret (that you’ll probably see coming) that could have led every character in this story down a different path if it had been revealed years before Jaya heard Amisha’s story told by Ravi.

It surprised me with how engaged I was considering this isn’t the type of books I normally am drawn to, so I would definitely recommend other readers to give this one a try!

An epic story of the unrelenting force of love, the power of healing, and the invincible desire to dream.
