So what did I like about the book...umm..
-The title
-The cover
-The minor details that show keen observation on part of the author...like the one about the relationship between Bua and Parshuram where he describes Parshuram wiping his glasses with Bua's saree pallu.
Although the book is pretty engrossing... its pretty ordinary in the sense that it does not have you thinking about it later. The narration is pretty smooth and make a for a leisure read.

Side note: A lot of recent writers have well-read blogs which kind of make them more real as compared to say a Naipaul or Rushdie..and it not helps in marketing the book to a certain extent but also brings in a lot of healthy discussion about the book which adds that little extra to the whole experience of the book.
