You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Four things in this section stuck out for me -- the dark secret that the Saghal family is harboring, the character development of Haresh and his interaction and Lata, Maan's near uncontrollable temper (what will he end up doing?) and the revelation that Rasheed's wife was his sister-in-law. Haresh is turning out to be interesting - entrepreneurial, direct and on his way to being a self-made man I think. Will he get a job at James Hawley?

I actually admire Rasheed - he married his sister-in- law to take care of her. He sacrificed much to follow tradition and customs knowing he was boxing himself in. Yes, culturally very different from the Western world and practice, but not so in Eastern traditional culture, which of course has evolved over the years. He would have had an arranged marriage anyway. Re: Haresh, he's a nice, earnest young man, but a bit of a bull in a china shop. Agree - Maan really needs to get his act together!
