3.5: trying to decide on a Narayan title for PoCo class. The Guide is next. Liked this one but not sure it would work for the class.

A bittersweet tale of a man, who is a painter of sign boards, trying to navigate his way around and in-between the lives of two women, his traditional elderly Aunt, who regularly attends the temple, and a modern woman, intent on reducing India's growing population, and who he also happens to be in love with.
I am saving this book to pass onto a friend who has experienced India and will appreciate this novel.

It was a decent story and well written, but somehow didn't grab me the way that a great story does. I don't think I'll be reading any more of Narayan's work.
