This is a poignant story of two girls who grew up in the same household and who had a very deep bond with one another. It is also a comment on the lives of girls and women in India and of how much of their lives is bound up in duty and tradition. Of course, secrets play a large part as well. I would love to see a sequal to this book.

Beautiful, sweet, eye-opening. The story of "twin cousins" growing up in a declining upper-class female household in India. Divakurni sets the scene lyrically and subtly. She allows the girls to develop and mature together but according to their distinct personalities. The caste/class divisions and attitudes of recent India were a revelation to me.
