It is easy to say "hi" to everyone who you meet but to say "bye" to the person(s) you love is the one of the most difficult things to do. This is what one of the characters in the book says and rightly so. This book has got gears but mostly tortoise-paced.The book slowly begins with the first gear describing about the city girl Saumya and how she gets posted to a steel plant in Toranagullu where she tries to get accustomed .On a trip to Hampi she gets beguiled by a hippie-cum-marijuana addict who had been travelling for three years to every possible place sticking his bottom for three months at every halt to do "something". A hippie only until she realizes towards the end that this man has got to do "something". "Something" that the maverick cleverly disguises as the least meaningless thing to do to everybody.And as envisaged their falling in love seems commonplace to me at least. Half way through I felt like giving it up but some part of me just managed to push me through a few pages and then there was no stopping until the last page.This book is neither fast paced nor it has the witty characters but it has the plot right in the last part which makes up for the initial interminable part and kudos to the writer as he managed to pen down that intriguing part at last. The author manages to push the NITRO button despite the lazy start.And this should be considered as a compliment. Nevertheless those who have patience or want to try out their-patience-test can give it a read and others can chuck it away.

Ten years ago when I first read this book I thought that it was fantastic....this time around I didnt find it all that exciting. It took me almost a month to read it and I read several other books in the interim. I have decided to give it three stars instead of two though...I am blaming myself for the lack of interest. The last time I read it I imagine it didnt take me more than a day or two to get through. This time with three kids always buzzing around I had to read it a chapter (or less) at a time and it made it very hard to get drawn in. The verdict is...read it...but read it quickly! Here are two excerpts from the book...they are exceptionally well written and exemplify what I like about reading Amy Tan in general... "I hurry over, and when I emerge from the archway and look down, I see a landscape that both chills and mesmerizes me, a fairy-tale place I've seen in nightmares. It's completely unlike the smooth, sunlit valley we just crossed. This is a deep and narrow ravine shaped by violent upheavals, as lumpy as an unmade bed, a scratchy blanket of moss with patches of light and pockets of shadows, the faded hues of a perpetual dusk. Simon's eyes are glazed with excitement. "Isn't this great?" Sprouting here and there are mounds of rocks, stacked high as men. They look like monuments, cairns, an army of petrified soldiers. Or perhaps they are the Chinese version of Lot's salty wife, pillars of human weakness, the fossilized remains of those who entered this forbidden place and dared to look back." "She wasn't like the ghosts I saw in my childhood. She was a billion sparks containing every thought and emotion she'd ever had. She was a cyclone of static, dancing around the room, pleading with Simon to hear her."
