Age: Middle School+
Historical Fiction: 1960s, 2000s
Identity, Characters: Bengali Indian American

I loved the overall concept of this story: multiple perspectives across generations, Bengali Indian culture, family...it was all great! I got completely removed from the story when Anna had her gym shower storyline because, really, what high school student--especially a girl--was taking showers after gym class in the early 2000s?

The concept is very appealing for adults, but this one is much more suited for junior high and high school--which is mainly why I gave it four stars.
