Very slow start, and felt a little rushed to end but I still enjoyed reading this overall

3.5. The audio is well done. In the beginning, I struggled because I was not sure I cared for any of the characters but as the book progressed my affinity for them grew.

4.0

The three Shergill sisters were once close, but after one marries and moves to Australia, and the other two have a hallway fistfight in the hospital where their mother is dying, they’re barely speaking. Their mother’s deathbed wish was that they travel back to Punjab in India, their ancestral homeland and the heart of the Sikh faith.

The setup is fairly unbelievable. Their mom is dying and in horrendous pain, and yet somehow she is able to handwrite pages and pages of detailed instructions for the trip she wants them to take, including sanctimonious advice about their spiritual lives. Her tone is so smug that it’s hard to believe they agree to do it.

But they do, and if you can live with that setup, it ends up being an entertaining story. As you expect in this type of plot, secrets are revealed, past misunderstandings are explained, and by the end the sisters are united once again. It’s a speedy, heartwarming read. Enjoyed it.
