(  ) michiy | Mar 4, 2009 |  The story of a family in 1970's India - a mother and father with their three children, their neighbours, their work, their hopes and beliefs, their friendships and losses and the trials of life in general. The novel provides insight to their world and, I found, engendered a feeling of empathy for them - especially for Gustad the father. Its a good read. (  ) thejohnsmith | Jan 8, 2009 | This was a beautifully written book highlighting journeys both physical and emotional. I liked the interactions between Gustad and his friends and family, as even when things were rough, I knew that Gustad cared. I also liked the ways political and religious news affected Gustad and his neighbors.
