I really liked your description of The Sari Shop Looks like I have one more book to add to the ever growing pile to be read! Thanks very much for the recommendation.

Or, was it more focused on Ramchand's struggles? 67. The Sari Shop by Rupa Bajwa.

The story is set in Amritsar India and centers around a popular sari store that carries some of the best saris in India. Ramchand is a shop ... I have read many of the books already spoken about (i.e. Oryx and Crake, Brick Lane, Time Traveler's Wife...etc) but also The Sari Shop which I enjoyed very much.
