After her parents moved her and her brother to America, Preeti Desai never meant to tear her family apart. All she did was fall in love with a white Christian carnivore instead of a conventional Indian boy. Years later, with her parents not speaking to her and her controversial relationship in tatters, all Preeti has left is her career at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm. But when Preeti receives word of a terrible accident in the city where she was born, she returns to India, where she’ll have to face her estranged parents...and the complicated past they left behind.

Waste of credit
Revisado: 01-24-22
This begins with a predictable, albeit believable, relationship between a daughter and her Indian immigrant parents. The daughter's self centered perspective is visible during her sister in law's baby shower. She continues focusing on herself even when her sister in law lays in a coma. Her brother must decide to save his wife or unborn baby. When his wife wakes from surgery and her coma, she immediately blames the brother for his decision. This is despite her own motherless childhood, and heedless her child would have faced the same if she was chosen over her mother. The selfish characters who disregard everyone else are frustrating and unbelievable.

Vietnam - Culture Smart! outlines the history, culture, and traditions of the Vietnamese. It explains certain deep-seated attitudes, describes some of the social and cultural changes now underway, and gives practical advice on what to expect and how to behave in unfamiliar situations. It aims to help you discover for yourself the warmth and vast potential of this fascinating country and its delightful people. They are open and friendly, with senses of humor and irony, and are frankly curious about the outside world.

Breadth without depth
Revisado: 02-23-19
In an attempt to cover every area of Vietnamese culture, the author gives minimal information about any single area.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

The only voice to tell the story
Revisado: 08-04-17
Trevor Noah is an incredibly engaging storyteller and narrator. His remarkable life is something I feel lucky he shared. Each character's voice comes through distinctly, and hearing the correct pronunciation of the African languages adds so much. I am sad it's over now.
