This book got a great deal of critical acclaim and even won a couple prestigious book awards, so I was really looking forward to reading it as a featured selection of my book group. Unfortunately, neither I nor any other members of my book group were really impressed with it. I found the writing to be very stilted and most of the characters to be very shallow and underdeveloped. I felt the author tried to follow too many characters and too many plot lines, which made for a confusing, unfocused book. While I did learn about the cultures of the Himalayan area of India as well as life in India under English rule, when it comes to Indian authors I definitely prefer Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

Like hennagoddess, I looked forward to reading this book because of the acclaim and Booker Award. I found it difficult to keep track of all the different characters and I didn't particularly care for some of the rather abrupt jumping around between them. I also had some difficulty with the the way some of the back stories were presented. I felt the characters were OK and was able to 'feel their pain' for the most part. I did not care for the ending at all.
