Secret Daughter - Shilpi Somaya Gowda

















Secret Daughter - Shilpi Somaya Gowda (2010)

I read a review of this book on a book blog that I like, and she had given it one of her highest ratings, which was good enough for me.  I wasn't expecting great things, but the Indian-American story seemed interesting.  I was touched by the mothers story of being poor and giving up her daughter to an orphanage, so that she could give her husband a son.  However, none of the characters seemed to talk to me, they all seemed a little flat and one dimensional.

Still, on a cold and rainy weekend I enjoyed this as a little distraction - 3/5.
