Discussion date: October 10, 2005

What we liked most about this book were its insights on the life and culture of the immigrant Indian family. Many of us commented that we did not feel particularly drawn to the characters (with the exception of the mother and father) and rated it lower for that reason. The subject led us into a discussion of immigrants in general, and we all were enthralled by Elizabeth's telling of her family's experiences in coming to this country from Hungary.

Ratings ranged from 3 to 4.5, for an average just below 4 stars.
