I absolutely loved this graphic novel. The story was fast paced and at times choked me up with how I felt for the characters. I think this is such an amazing book for any teacher or for any parents wanting to introduce their kids to a different culture. It doesn't go too much into the history but again would be a good introduction to Indian culture and spark interest. 
 (view spoiler)[Some people might think that the mothers choice of not telling her daughter the truth about her father was stupid but I can understand. This was a rough thing that the mother had to go through in a culture that a lot of what women were expected to do was get married and being pregnant without a father, while today is accepted in America, some cultures to this day do not accept that and women are deeply ashamed and hurt. I can understand and respect this and think it brings a sense of sorrow to the book that I am glad that her daughter in the end recognizes. (hide spoiler)]
