I was really excited when I found out that this was the title Michelle had selected for the April box. I was a bit concerned as it dealt with a lot of serious subjects and I didn’t want a title that was going to make me cry through 85% of it. After reading the first few chapters I knew this story would be moving and make a statement.

Tara is a strong voice who leads the way through the story, while glimpses of Mukta tie it all together. As I read, I absolutely loved the back and forth between the two women and how it would go back and forth in time (to when they were children to present day). I loved that Mukta was a buildup from the day she was taken to where she is now and Tara’s started as a present day and looked back gradually throughout her life and how it brought her back to India in search of her childhood friend.

Both women are such strong voices and show the magnitude of the situation Mukta finds herself in and the lengths Tara goes to find her again.

This book had me in tears by the end but I was more than okay with it. This book moved me and I am so pleased to learn of the impact it makes on others who read it. I’m so glad I was able to experience this title.
