First Darling of the Morning - Thrity Umrigar

on Tuesday, December 29, 2009

This is a lovely book written by Thrity about her childhood as a Parsi in Mumbai. I really liked the way she started with her as a child and how she grew up at home. The tension at home with problems in the factory her uncle and father were the boss of, the sadness when her uncle died and how she had to grow up. The book ends when she makes a decision to go to US to study and to learn to be independent. Really nice novel to read
