Raised by her grandparents in Kolkata following the death of her mother, Korobi has had a loving and fortunate but sheltered childhood, and is now about to marry her love Rajat, whose family operates a series of lucrative art galleries. Shortly before their marriage, Korobi's grandfather suffers a heart attack, and upon his death the identity of Korobi's mystery father is revealed: an American! Against the wishes of her fiancé and his family, who fear scandal in their social circles, Korobi embarks on a journey of discovery to locate her father, who had been told she had died as an infant. I'll never forget what my grandmother once said: children have a right to know where they come from. Divakaruni has penned a tale demonstrating that although love and generosity are universal human qualities, sadly so are prejudice and deceit. Recommended as a lighter summer read and for fans of gentle family mysteries.
