        Right? I’ll let you know if I come across one.

        If you like mysteries, I just finished The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey. Set in 1920s India, the main character is loosely based on the first female Indian lawyer and it is a fantastic read. Literally my only complaint is that it is the first in a new series and the second book isn’t out yet. I am admittedly pretty ignorant about Indian history, religions, and politics, and much of Western media paints the region as fairly homogenous. This book shows the intersections of different cultures and throws in some feminism to really pique my interest. Massey also has another mystery series that centers on a Japanese-American art dealer that I have very much enjoyed.

    I couldn’t get past the flowery writing and details, though.

      @owl22, I didn’t think it was flowery… I’ll go back to the beginning to see if I can understand what you mean.
      I love that reading is such an individual experience. We are all met where we are. That is one reason why I love to read so much!
