  1. 3 out of 5

    This book is about Anjali Kapadia, a 37 years old widow and her struggles with converting her parents sari shop into a chic boutiqueand her love life. The book shows own Little India and lots of neat, interesting shops like Silk & Sapphires. The second and third generations of immigrant families also face similar cross-culture problems, more traditional elders and more flexible young ones. These real-life issues are wasted as background to a romance in this novel. It’s a pleasant novel and sweet.
