I loved Amina and found her relatable, or I liked her more when she started putting her foot down after George's betrayal.

I didn't like the ending but that might because I wanted something saccharine sweet. 

I loathe George, but then he's non violent at least, but there's no passion in their marriage and he describes Amina as 'practical' - she's so much more than that. He doesn't ever inquire about her Bangladeshi life or ask if she misses things or tries to engage in her culture. Amina has to have an American self and another Bangladeshi self, with the right husband she could be both and that is what I think is the saddest thing.
