Reviews & praise
What readers are saying
“A major accomplishment of this book must be the sensibility with which it portrays fun, lighter moments just as well as deeper moments of the characters’ inner struggle. There is a depiction of family dynamics in South-Indian Muslim families, and the way they are all linked one family to another. The episodes describing traditional dishes, and Sameer cooking and making videos along with his brother and grandmother have an endearing effect and an aesthetic appeal.”
