Apparently I have chosen the wrong book of this author to explore. Why did I abandon this book? My top reasons:
1) after 3 chapters I found the writing to be incredibly cheesy . It almost seemed as if it was written by a junior high kid. Of course, I'm not a fabulous writer either but it is not my profession.
2) Please remember I've only read 3 chapters in this book when I say this and things might change later in the story. The writer points out what is "wrong" with every American character that is introduced into the story by this point. She describes mainly the negatives whereas she seems to higlight the positives of the Indian characters. Even Eva, a woman she has come to love and consider as her best friend, she states she would be embarrassed to be seen with in India do to the woman's size. Another example, she states when American children are dirty they always appear to be dirtier than the poorest of Indian children. Maybe the story evolves and the main character changes her outlook somewhat I just did not care to find out. I realize we Americans are far from perfect and our culture can be superficial at times but there just seemed to be too many blanket statements about it in this work.
In perusing other poster's reviews of the author's work it seems this book happens to be much different compared to her previous works. Perhaps I will try one of her other works instead. This one gets returned today.
