This book is recommended by my sister, and i picked it up and finished it long back but never got a chance to post about it...Indeed long time I did not write any thing over here... :) Now posting since i remembered about it and again read this book for the second time just two weeks back...
This book is about a girl Devi who is meddling with her life and asked to leave her job and then forced to stay with her parents and with all these going around she finds her interest in cooking and then she starts making awesome food...the story reveals many things about her life...a worth reading.After reading this book i was thinking about many things...This book also hints of all those people who are forced to stay abroad by some reason and still want to come back to India but bonded over there they can never take that step for some reason.
Devi the main character in this book looks life in a different way than her family does and never wanted to stay with her mother...she comes back starts staying with them...but never utters a word...But she has many things going in her heart...Reading all those things we start thinking about them...The most important thing is we do read and remember and then feel for a day or two but forget things that made us feel ya even we do this or we also did this...
When my sister recommended this book she did mention that "you might find some thing similar" i don't know what did she find similar...But yes i did find many things similar..Some times i agree with Devi but some times she is also wrong...It is a nice book...Once you start reading you will have a push from inside to complete it also....There was a kind of similarity in many of the things how it happens with me most of the times...
Read it...a kind of different story...

There are a lot of similarities you can find in this book. But the most obvious one (which is the one I implied to when recommending this book to you) is the fact that the older sister excels in school, does everything the parents expect & want her to and the younger one is always reminded by the family members of her akka's success. Thought you would find it very familiar :)
I liked the book and have read other books by this author too. Wonder why she didn't become very successful! Or maybe she is, and I just didn't know!
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
