These stories were so well-written and powerful. As a whole, this collection explores the immigrant experience and how South Indian women navigate varying issues. My absolute favorite (and really one of the best short stories I've read in a while) was "Nature Exchange," which touches on the tragedy of a shooting. I sobbed at the end. Others I enjoyed were "Malliga Homes" about a widowed woman who waits for her daughter to visit from her home in America. All in all this collection does a wonderful job exploring a very specific experience--immigrating from South India--through the lens of broad issues experienced by all. I really liked this one and look forward to more from Bhanoo.
