I read this book after borrowing it from a friend. It was really good. It is the story of a Pakistani man who tells his story to an American - It involves the story of how he initially came to US with his dreams and worked very hard towards it and then upto 9/11 and then how it all disintegrated for him. I really liked the story line and the way the story was written. The ending was a bit disappointing for me!

I really liked this novel a lot. It was so touching for me. It's about a young Indian doctor Suneel Sarath who was studying and now staying in the US. He has a sort-of girlfriend Catherine. He goes to visit India to visit his "ailing" Thatapa but on landing in India, realises that his mother tricked him into coming to India to see girls for marriage. Through an unfortunate mistunderstanding, he somehow gets married to Leila. Leila is a sweetheart in this novel. She is a typical Indian girl and comes to US with dreams. She is independent and soon realises what her husband was upto with Catherine. So the story goes on about how she and Suneel in the end ultimately reconcile. A really nice novel :)
