a Great Novel

I bought a novel called the Secret Daughter last week from Costco, and I try to read one chapter every night before asleep.  The Secret Daughter is written by Philpi Somaya Gowda, is one of the best book I ever read. After reading almost 3 chapters of the book, I can’t wait to read rest of it. The way that author describe the story makes me think what will happen to characters of story.

Author describes life of two families that are connected to each other. Kavita and Jasu, They lived in small city in India. Kavita first baby was a girl (Asha), and Jasu didn’t let her to keep baby because in that time people couldn’t have a baby girl in India. So they gave the baby to orphanage. Kavita second baby was a boy (Vijay). After Vijay got older, they moved to Bombay. They have poor family, so both Jasu and Kavita work hard to pay for Vijay school.

Meanwhile, Indian man names Kris had American wife names Somer, and they both are doctor. Somer had medical problems, and she couldn’t get pregnant. They decided to adopt a baby from orphanage. They adopt kavita’s daughter. 

One of the things that make me interested to continue reading this book is when author describe Vijay’s problems with his family. He knows his parents work hard for his future, so he works secretly and bring home some money every night. On the other hand, Asha also has some problem with her dad. Kris wants her to become a doctor, but she loves to be a journalist.
