Professor Chandra, an economist of the Chicago school, faces up to his choices and his family. It's often funny, and I felt for the main character, his ex-wife and their children, but the resolution is a little too easily come by.
This book was uneven. I was ready to quit until I got to chapter 5. Family dynamics....
While the summary seemed interesting the story failed to engage. Characters are mediocre, plot is predictable and dialog repetitive. I'd hoped for more but after reading nearly half it wasn't going anywhere. DNF!
