I think I'm an outlier on this one, as I thought it was good, but not great. The story did not feel terribly complex, though it tried hard to be - so many different conflicts to resolve! The resolution to each of Laksmhi's many problems seemed patently obvious, and I skimmed through the last 100 or so pages knowing exactly how things would play out. Her relationship with her sister Radha wasn't fleshed out in a meaningful way, like the characters were steamrolled by a too fast moving plot. I did however enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and glimpse into 1950's society in Jaipur.
