Reading this book makes you grateful for living in a country where we are free to chose our partners and to divorce when there is no more hope. I liked the book and the way it was written but thought the character of Raman was weak and unable to stand up to his second wife. I was dabbling between 3 and four stars but ended up on three mainly because I did not like the ending ... but at the same time it is probably a realistic ending. As I really enjoyed Home by Manju Kapur I was really looking forward to reading this novel and I certainly wasn’t disappointed.Raman feels blessed with a very beautiful wife, Shagan, but that doesn’t stop him spending most of his time working and travelling. Then Ashok, Raman’s dynamic new boss, meets Shagan and decides he must have her as his wife, whatever the consequences. As Shagan and Raman both forge relationships with new partners, they find it impossible to reach agreement about the custody of their two children leading to years of conflict between the two couples.Set in Delhi during the 1900s, this novel provides a fascinating insight into modern India, uneasily emerging from the traditions and culture of the past.
