About this listen
Debut novelist Shilpi Somaya Gowda pens this compelling tale about two families, worlds apart, linked by one Indian child. After giving birth to a girl for a second time, impoverished Kavita must give her up to an orphanage. The baby, named Asha, is adopted by an American doctor and raised in California. But once grown, Asha decides to return to India.

Must Read!
Absolutely incredible story - had me captivated from beginning to end! The narrator was able to keep the distinct voices from one character to another throughout the book for an amazing listening experience.

Amazing, just amazing.
A rollercoaster of emotions as I listened to this story unfold. The author does a beautiful job of presenting the perspectives of the characters, especially the female characters. There's so much rich content for audiences to delve into conversations about culture, gender, immigration, migration, and so much more. Really beautifully done!

Just ok
It was ok, I found it kinda boring. I seemed like there wasnt really a climax. It was written well and the speaker was good.

Multi-layered and rich
I have read this years ago before having children. The second time, listening to it, now as a mother, especially one of an adopted child gave me an entirely new perspective.

This book made me want to visit India! Most important, it awakens you to a sad reality happening with girls. Beautifully narrated! I finished this book in three days!

Made me miss my family :(
I've lived away from my family for almost 10 years now and listening to this book made me miss them terribly.
Very well written and narrated and wish it hadn't ended so soon.
Can't wait to get started with one of her other books.
