Book Reviews of The Hindi-Bindi Club
Book Review: A Cut-Above Chick-Lit Asian Style
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the Chick-Lit Books club choice for August. (Anchorage, Alaska/3rd Thursday 7:30PM/Title Wave Books)
In the genre, this was an excellent book. Others may complain about happy endings and all loose ends tied up but that is the genre. That is the way of such books. That is the way Jane Austen did it and that is the way it is done today.
However, here we were treated to bits of Indian history, traditional Indian solutions to American problems and slices of the lives of Non-Resident Indians.
The nicest thing about "ethnic" Chick-Lit is the familial involvement. You do not hear much about families in Manhattan/London, shoe obsessed mid-thirties romances. In the Indian, Latin and Asian stories mothers, sisters, fathers and brothers are all sticking their fingers in the pie. This is one of "those" books.
It is a lot of fun.
