Overall, it was decent, and I mostly enjoyed it, but there were times when it got a bit too rambly and other times when it was just a bit too out there for my taste (okay, that's an understatement ... Loco Larry? Romeo Hawk?). If you want to read a novel by Bharati Mukherjee, I would recommend Desirable Daughters and Jasmine over this one. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"A very fine writer, funny, intelligent, versatile and, on occasion, unexpectedly profound."--"The Washington Post Book World" "MUKHERJEE IS FEARLESS . . . DARING AND WITTY . . . Take the wild ride with Debby DiMartino from Albany to San Francisco, from lost child to masked avenger."--"The Boston Globe" "POWERFULLY WRITTEN . . . Debby has no memory of her birth parents. All she knows is that she was born in a remote Indian village, the daughter of a hippie back-packing mother and a mysterious Eurasian father, both of whom have disappeared almost without a trace. . . . Her quest for her biological parents turns into an obsession. . . . Leave It to Me . . . shows Mukherjee at the peak of her craft. . . . Mixing the Greek myth of Electra with the Indian myth of Devi, she sends Devi/Debby careening down on the Bay Area like an elemental force of vengeance."--"San Francisco Chronicle" "DEVI IS A BRILLIANT CREATION--hilarious, horribly knowing and even more horribly oblivious--through whom Bharati Mukherjee, with characteristic and shameless ingenuity, is laying claim to speak for an America that isn't 'other' at all."--"The New York Times Book Review" "STUNNING . . . An astute, ironic, and merciless insight into an aberrant version of the American dream."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "From the Trade Paperback edition."
