I loved SISTER OF MY HEART when my book club read it, and was eager to find out what happened to Anju and Sudha. However, I was irritated by the first 150 papers of this book and almost quit reading it. It was just so full of angst and frustrated emotion that never went anywhere or resolved itself. The writing was beautiful,full of imagery and allegorical stories, but I had some difficulty figuring out which character's thoughts were being described. The last 100 pages or so had all the characters turned upside down by changes in their lives, and my interest was revived. The ending was satisfying.
