What I enjoyed most about this book was the wonderful narration by Mozhan Marno. I'm so glad I chose to listen to this one rather than read it. She did a fantastic job portraying the different characters, different accents, and even emotional palette of their different voices (a yoga instructor versus one of her students). The story was great, too. The author had a good sense of Bangladesh, Deshi culture, and the atmosphere of various cities and villages. I was hoping for a different ending, but what happened made sense for everyone considering the circumstances and different cultures.

PS- After thinking about the book a bit more after I finished it, I became a bit more dissatisfied with how some parts of the plot didn't come to a close.

Spoiler

Nothing was ever resolved in any way with Kim even though she was so important to the plot. Nothing was really decided between Amina and Nassir. I guess we're supposed to assume Amina keeps her Starbucks job since she won the contest, but that's not certain either. And what about Amina being able to get pregnant? Or the whole adjustment of her parents moving to America?

Oh well.
