I loved this story of found family. Three young women in Bangaluru are trying to overcome the obstacles of their distressing childhoods and the fundamental misogyny of their society to build satisfying personal and professional lives for themselves. One caveat: their conversations are only half in English and I felt like I missed a great deal of nuance from the untranslated parts.
