"...(Mukherjee's) light, humorous style and engaging, believable characters make her book enticing and very readable...What emerges is a powerful tale of treachery, poverty - and both cute and inexcusable ignorance on the part of its lead character Iris (an Indian American)." - asianculturevulture.com
"An unsentimental yet compassionate view of the cultural clashes between east and west in which the interests of the trafficked children ultimately prevail. This is an informing and entertaining novel and well worth reading. *****" - Amazon
"... takes hold of you and leads you with absolute confidence into one of the most extraordinary journeys any of us ever embark on: the discovery of India." - Barney Norris, author of Times bestseller Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain
