My Review
THE STORYTELLER'S SECRET was a great book that may have been adult fiction, but I felt like it also taught me about India as well. I really enjoyed the way that the author explored the culture and appearance of India while also keeping the story the focus of the book.
I really liked Jaya and she was my favorite character, yet Ravi also made for an interesting character and served as a guide to Jaya. The heartbreak of losing a child really effect Jaya's character in a realistic manner which I thought was well written.
