LIES AND OTHER LOVE LANGUAGES

Soneela Nankani creates a sympathetic portrayal of Vandy Guru, a mother and advice columnist who is looking for her missing daughter, Mallika. This audiobook features an experienced narrator and a sophisticated story. Nankani captures the many conflicts facing women of Indian origin in contemporary American society. Trapped between her secrets and her ambition, Vandy finds that the pop culture advice she usually dispenses doesn't provide solutions to her own dilemmas. Nankani does a great job helping listeners empathize with the mother-daughter struggle. When questions about Mallika's parentage arise, both women must face unknowns about their pasts. This winding story is told by an expert narrator. M.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2024]
