Endorsements
This book is an emotional account of Sawant’s return to India after almost a decade living in America. With evocative language the author describes the Mumbai of her youth and the different reality she finds upon her return. Efficiency, the key word in the call centers that sprout all over the city, doesn’t translate to other areas of everyday living, including broken promises in the delivery of custom furniture. This is a book that anyone who’s ever lived outside of their native country or is fascinated by Indian culture will love. I highly recommend it.

This is a great book for parents to read because it’s not just the parents who are having these adjustments to the move. It’s the children who have to adjust too.
