Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
Why I added this book to my TBR pile: Since this is a popular book, it may have come as a recommendation.
Will I read more of the series / author?     Probably Not     Maybe    Highly Likely
This was a good read that took me to India. The stories of the three women were compelling. The story of their mother's death was sad, but understandable.
The narrators were Soneela Nankani and Deepti Gupta. I don't know which did the most narrating, but they were both good.
