Book Reviews of The Mango Season
Book Review: A Ripe Mango Season Makes You Forget the Heat
Summary: 3 Stars
Summary of the Book:
A cursory look at an Indian-American's social fabric and the challenges faced by woman in rapidly changing Indian society. The protoganist is based in the SanFran and is in love with an American but does not want to break that news to her conservative family, who do not want her to marry outside her caste/race. The rest of the book records her travel to India to see her extended family and break them the news of her love.
Assessment:
- Rich characterization of the women characters
- Nothing new in they way she developed the plot
- No context for the Indian words
- Did not provide enough context to understand why her family was against the marriage.
Summary:
Overall an easy read if you are planning on attending any of your Indian friend's wedding. Don't expect any literary fireworks from this Mango.
