5.0 out of 5 stars Just Lovely!, June 19, 2000
By Renee Thorpe (Karangasem, Bali) - See all my reviews
Beautifully written, rich stories that take place in India.

Indian writers are hot right now, but no one comes close to Desai's fine blend of realism and romance. A child of a German and an Indian, Desai probably is able to synthesize a cultural viewpoint all her own. Her unique (often satirical, always witty) eye sees much, and her writing is a bafflingly brilliant mix of poetry and economy.

Not a bad story in the batch... you'll want to read them again and again!
