We found this book depressing. Focusing
on Ashima’s characteristic, we knew that she would be the portrait of
ourselves. Language barrier, relationship with her husband and children make
her struggle, and even from the end of the book, she couldn’t find a solution.
She end up with awkward situation that she doesn’t fit into not only India
because she has spent her life in the USA for very long time but also the USA
especially after her husband who was the only one she could rely on died. Gogol
who takes long time to understand his parents makes touching story plot. Since
we share a lot in common with this immigration family, this realistic story
makes us somewhat nervous.
