FROM THE BACK:
"Exotic, romantic, full of colour, passion and drama.

A magical story of forbidden love.

Three people across three decades in a story of intertwined dramas and mysterious legacies."

FROM AMAZON.COM:
"An orphan boy adopted by an English doctor, living near Madras, in the Southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu: Nataraj.

A headstrong teenager, daughter of an Indian lawyer in Georgetown, British Guiana: Sarojini.

Back in Madras, earlier, a cook's daughter, of Brahmin descent but a servant girl in an affluent English family: Savitri.

And a cast of colorful supporting characters: a strong-minded but utterly fallible and therefore most "human" father; several brothers, one mean-spirited, one good-natured but weak, and another one, in another family, loving and mischievous; a willful girlfriend with a penchant for the arts; a mother at times more feminist politician than mom; a busybody mother with a constant need to organize, control and meddle; and last but not least, a wise and patient teacher.

Sprinkle this mixture generously with compassion, humor, love in all its incarnations and that profound understanding of the Indian society which only comes from personal experience; then add the author's personal secret touch."

RELEASE NOTES:

Bookring on its way to viola7 in Brisbane. Enjoy :o)

Received yesterday along with a lovely postcard. This looks good but it will take a while - it's big! Thank you Froggirlwendy!

I couldn't get into this. I think that the characters started off too young.

Received as part of a bookring! Thanks! Goes into the finally manageable TBR pile!

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I absolutely adored this book, the different stories and the way they intertwined, how everything came together. I loved watching all the characters develop.

PMing the next person on the list!

Sorry about dawdling - took me a long time to get into - I dislike chopping and changing - but once I got use to it - and discovered all the interconnections I was able to get through to the end.

If froggirlwendy will send me her snailmail I'll get it off home :)
