The focus on diversity is laudable, plenty of descriptive vignettes, both of American life and of the more colorful sights and
practices of India. is exploration of the
unfamiliar is the book’s greatest strength, and dovetails nicely with Heller’s promoting of social consciousness.
It’s a novel to reward curious young readers.
