I received this book for free through Giveaways It is an uncorrected proof.
I m so sad to have finished this book Flock does an excellent job of providing vignettes of the lives of the characters, and wish I could see how the rest of their lives play out As a TamBrahm who is from Chennai but spends much of her visits to India in Mumbai, this book was like a homecoming Such vivid descriptions of both cities, of the drama and expectations that come with Indian families I felt like I was back home The interspersed Hindi and Tamil were also great for nostalgia I initially t [...]

The journalist Elizabeth Flock was in her early 20s when she moved to Mumbai Though she was wary of overromanticizing India, she was immediately taken with what appeared to be an Indian attitude toward romance itself In Mumbai, people seemed to practice a showy, imaginative kind of love, she writes in The Heart Is a Shifting Sea She wondered if there was wisdom to this brand of passion When I arrived in Mumbai after my dad s third divorce, the city seemed to hold some answers The Heart Is a Shif [...]
Because the book is a combination of three separate and different stories, of three couples who don t know or interact with each other, it would have been easier for the reader if the novel had been divided into three sections instead of interspersing sections of the stories throughout I found it hard to remember the previous couple after reading about couple number two and having to switch back to couple number one or forward to number three I couldn t keep them straight that way.
This is a wonderful book that provides an intimate and nuanced depiction of relationships in modern day India It is a great example of well researched and well written narrative non fiction, which weaves in cultural and historical details of significance, providing insightful context for the challenges experienced by the three couples the author followed I highly recommend this book.
DNF Well written and researched, interesting account of the marriages of three Indian couples Stopped after the first couple because their unfaithfulness and unwillingness to work on their marriage was depressing.
I m not a big fan of nonfiction, but I really liked this book Great insight into marriage and society in India.
