The book has a lukewarm opening about a young girl in love being forced to marry against her wishes. It also has a lazy ending where the above mentioned young girl, who by then has become a mother of an autistic (?) Kid, moves to London and divorces her husband.
But where the book really scores is the in between where the trails and tribulations of a young bride in an alien family is depicted. It is the seemingly small but huge detailed domestic scenes that are viewed through the eyes of an 18 year old that is the highlight of the book
