Readers who are invested in accurate depictions of the therapeutic process may find this plot twist challenging to accept, though many of the rather magical events that unfold near the end of the book ring true emotionally.
Recommended for Dev’s lush descriptions of food, fashion, dancing, college life, romance, and friendship and her sensitive portrayals of infertility, loss, and hope.
Raheem’s story is lively and funny, and readers will feel like cheering on lovable Nadia as she takes desperate measures to save her marriage and find peace.
Dev explores themes of racialization, gender roles, and aging in a lighthearted way, with details on food and fashion sprinkled throughout. Recommended.
Readers learn bits and pieces about Vanhoenacker’s childhood, career path, and significant relationships, but overall the book lacks a strong personal narrative, which is disappointing. Extended descriptions of the author’s hometown of Pittsfield, MA, might challenge the patience of a U.S. reader expecting to read about more distant locales. Not recommended.
Far from being a purist, Olsen delights in the evidence she finds of cross-cultural exchange and creativity and concludes that borrowing and sharing among traditions is what ties Canada together. Recommended.
Readers will be electrified with the variety of naughtiness, treachery, and pillow talk between these covers. Listening to the easily accessible musical works mentioned therein while reading is recommended.
