Belonging by Umi Sinha

This is a dream of a book. Beautifully written and movingly told. It deals with the big themes of life; memory, secrets, family, and homeland, with an intimate eye for detail.

From the dark days of the British Raj, to the aftermath of the First World War, it tells the tale of three generations and their struggles. Of course, generally anything set in India, no matter in what period, usually captivates me.
