Homespun by Nilita Vachani
This adult novel set in India tells the stories of three generations of people. Eventually the stories all intertwine, but it takes awhile. I must admit that the names were confusing to me, mainly because the point-of-view kept changing. I had to think....okay....is this the child actor? or the fighter pilot? or the movie producer? or the girl who purges? I was a little confused, and imagine that a lot of my students would be, too. HOWEVER, it is a great novel to learn more about the Indian culture--both Hindu and Muslim. But I think this one is more for adult women book circles.
