Book Reviews of The Hindi-Bindi Club
Book Review: Really enjoyed it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up thinking Oh, I'll give it a try - I was so glad I did.....such a lovely story. I really enjoyed the characters and how they interacted - real feelings and real problems. I loved watching this intimate story about a culture I am so clueless about - I learned a lot and can't wait to try to put some of the recipes together. I recommend it if you are looking for a great story about real people and real relationships.
Summary of The Hindi-Bindi Club
For decades they have remained close, sharing treasured recipes, honored customs, and the challenges of women shaped by ancient ways yet living modern lives. They are the Hindi-Bindi Club, a nickname given by their American daughters to the mothers who left India to start anew—daughters now grown and facing struggles of their own.For Kiran, Preity, and Rani, adulthood bears the indelible stamp of their upbringing, from the ways they tweak their mothers’ cooking to suit their Western lifestyles to the ways they reject their mothers’ most fervent beliefs. Now, bearing the disappointments and successes of their chosen paths, these daughters are drawn inexorably home.
Kiran, divorced, will seek a new beginning—this time requesting the aid of an ancient tradition she once dismissed. Preity will confront an old heartbreak—and a hidden shame. And Rani will face her demons as an artist and a wife. All will question whether they have the courage of the Hindi-Bindi Club, to hold on to their dreams—or to create new ones.
An elegant tapestry of East and West, peppered with food and ceremony, wisdom and sensuality, this luminous novel breathes new life into timeless themes.
