Decent love story  
By Abhas, 05/07/2008 13:41:17

I am a little disappointed by Vikram Seth. I have read his A Suitable Boy and that was excellent. So, I was expecting much from the second book of bestseller author. It is a decent, charming, affectionate lovestory of Michael and Julia. But I found it low on novelty and narrative. High melodramatic in some segments. Michael is quite melodramatic while Julia is complex characterization. Overall, the characters are passionate about their lives and loves. Readers should be able to relate to similar passions of their own. Seth’s talent as a writer is truly accentuated. However, this book seems to be an earnest effort of the author. It is a good book but slow read.
